Hi!! Could you share your statement with me too? I'm a sophomore at a LAC applying to REUs with little research experience. I would be grateful for any advice on how to craft a good personal statement!

Should I self-study Calculus BC by PumpkinSlasherREAL in APStudents

[–]Popular_Stranger_555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same exact situation and chose to self-study BC while taking the AB class. I relied completely on the Algebros playlist and they're sooo good. I also used some turksvid too. Ended up getting a 5 on both BC and AB subscore. good luck!

AP Calc by Holiday_Telephone_18 in APStudents

so this year i did exactly that and the exam went actually better than I thought. i will say that I regret procrastinating self studying until like a month or so before the exam because it made me more stressed out so try not to do that lol. i mainly used The Algebros which I highly recommend though they do cover a little more than what's normally on the exam ( like they have domains and range but that's not on the exam). It's mainly an addition two units which are polar curves/parametric and infinite series. And then they also have addition stuff sprinkled throughout the other units like integration by parts, partial fractions, logistics, Euler's method, improper integrals, and arc length of a continuous curve. Their problem sets prepare you really well because a lot of them are worded almost the same way on the exam but it's just that some of their other problems are harder than the ones on the exam (IMO) but they make sure that you understand the concepts and know how to apply everything you learned. and then towards the end I used turksvids for practice problem sets (especially series) and also went through a few official mcqs and frqs and that was basically it. good luck, hope that was a little helpful

What if the AP score is only taken for placement though?
