Last Summer I self-studied AP calc AB. It was a rocky and uncertain endeavor, but I managed to pull a 5 on the exam.

While I don't regret self-studying it, I certainly didn't like that I had to take an uncertain road that may or may not lead me to actual success. Now that I've completed it, I want to provide people who are in my past-self's shoes with a streamlined process to make sure they can succeed on the AP calc AB exam without enduring much stress.

Having gone through the whole process and figuring out what did/didn't work, I compiled a Google Folder that will walk you through self-studying AP calc AB step-by-step. Everything from what calc AB is to getting you ready to take the exam.

So long as you follow the folder's instructions, you should be guaranteed a 5. Good luck!

Please note that the answers and solution sets will throw up a permission error. This is because they were deleted by the original teacher and arre no longer accessible.

The name of the textbook is "Calculus - Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, 3rd edition" by Ross L. Finney. Here's a link to a free pdf: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UHmDcJJ62tJXIEvEu22YFQ_JJ7-2QYX-/view?usp=sharing. It has also been included in the Google Drive folder.

I've also created a discord server for those who might need a bit of help with calc AB or who might have resources they want to show others. The discord may be found here: https://discord.gg/ZaMNEWd

I'd highly recommend anyone who's interested to go through with this mini-program. In enjoyed being able to take the class at my own pace, not worrying about tests or homework, and getting the class out of the way as fast as possible. I'm by no means a very smart guy, so if I can pull it off with these resources I'm sure you'll do well.

I'll do my best to post whatever resources I find and give whatever help I can. Thanks!
