How to Succeed in AP Calc


Keep a calculus handbook full of useful information to be memorized

Memorize calculus handbook

Really memorize the fundamental theorem of calculus

Be prepared for class by printing out notes ahead of time and doing assigned homework

Don’t just copy the answer key for homework to get the credit; you aren’t helping anyone

Don’t be afraid to ask the teacher questions during class, during a free, or after school

Form a study group to work on homework with and to get help on difficult topics

At home, use textbook and various online tools such as Khan Academy when you are stuck

Take advantage of class time given to you to do homework – you can alleviate your homework load for that night and get help from the teacher

Teaching is the best way to learn, so help your classmates when they need it

Practice makes perfect, so do as many practice AP questions as possible

Take advantage of extra credit opportunities and test upgrades if offered
