I am so pleased you have chosen to become one of the few students to meet the challenge of AP Calculus. Calculus is unspeakably cool and applicable. Algebra is a tool for solving problems, and you will use it A LOT this year. Calculus, however, is a tool for creating problems....and that is how progress happens.Recommended study companion: "How to Ace Calculus: a streetwise guide."USEFUL INFORMATION ALERT: The prep book which I recommend for this course is called "Be Prepared for the AP Calculus Exam". It was originated by the man who runs the College Board Calculus program, so I believe in its pedigree. It's also my preferred book when I go for problems to review, meaning I have worked many, if not all the problems in the 1st edition of the book.

TO RETAKE THE CHAPTER 4 TEST either in whole or part, you must:* Submit a plan of relearning and provide evidence of the relearning before you may retake the test. Your plan must include a calendar which lists day-by-day what you will do to prepare.
* Do the assignment(s) completely and accurately. This is your evidence of relearning. Come in for help if you need it. * Complete the above, AND the retake, no later than 2/29. My weekly schedule is posted on Mondays. To maintain test integrity, you must retake all the sections you with to retake at one sitting. You may not split the retake among different days.
