[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP calculus teacher here.

Check with your school to confirm that BC is AB plus additional content and it is not *only* the BC content. Having AB as a prerequisite might be a tip-off that they are not teaching the AB content in BC but assume that content is mostly known and they will just rapidly review it at the beginning of the year.

Then look at Thinkwell and Derek Owens. Both are self paced options and a motivated student could probably get through them in 6 months doing multiple lessons a day. Id have the student start in spring to build in time before the course needs to be completed and BC starts. Obviously they wouldn’t be taking the AP Calculus AB exam because it’s only given in Spring.

You’ll want to buy a textbook for them. The College Board has a list of approved textbooks in the course outline. You can get one on Amazon. You’ll want a solution manual too if you yourself are not extremely comfortable with calculus.
