How is AP Calculus?

I am just wondering if this coarse is a good coarse to take. Is it really hard or is it not bad? I am just wondering how this coarse is like.

Thank you in advance

It really depends on how good you are at math. While it may be easy for some people, others might think it was really hard. I didn't think it was that bad. There were some parts that involved rotating that gave me trouble, but I got it in the end. And if you do decide to take it and are having trouble understanding, feel free to contact me.

I've never been good with math. But the teacher I have is so skilled at the subject that he simplifies it for everyone. I've gotten B's or B+'s in my Honors math classes and an A in AP Calculus. Now Math is again one of my strongest subjects.

I'm a very unusual case, I got a C in the easiest math honor course in the school back in 8th grade (its still on my transcript ..lolz ) stand then worked myself up to As and A+s in all my math honors classes starting in highschool.. I'm taking AP Calculus AB right now and I absolutley love it.. it's challenging, you'll need to go beyond your basic usage of the techniques and try new stuff and it gets complicated, but if you're into challenges that's the course for you.. it also helps if your school has a good instructer.. and if you think about it, you really don't have anyting to lose if your taking it senior year, its a good experimental time and you're going to have to take it in college sometime soon anyways..

My teacher isn't the best, but I am doing well right now. I think it depends on your strengths and weaknesses. For some people, math just clicks and makes sense. Others just don't get it.

calc isn't bad at all--just MEMORIZE ALL THE FORMULAS and keep them straight in your head. you'll be fine if you do that.
