[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe look for an Intro Calc course online to provide structure, then sit the Calc AB exam next May. Maybe RSM, Kumon, or Mathnasium would be alternatives that provided structure to the learning. [/quote]
So yes - Khan Academy has what appears to be an excellent [url=https://www.khanacademy.org/math/ap-calculus-ab]AP Calculus AB course[/url], with numerous videos by Sal himself (Grant Sanderson of 3b1b fame recorded some additional videos for their multivar calc course), as well as with numerous mastery assessments.  They even provide "college board math" assumptions, like assuming that the maximum of a sin/cos function is always 1 when estimating the Lagrange error bound (regardless of actual interval).  And they break it down by AB and BC. They also have testimonials by some private school teachers who have adopted that course at their schools.

It's really well done and if you try it yourself, you soon get addicted to their little success jingles and confetti. Now it doesn't have a human in the loop, and there are no writing assignments, which is of course a drawback.[/quote]
