19. What previous students had to say..
• -This is not an easy class. But if you are willing to put in the time and
effort, then you MIGHT make it out alive... haha just kidding! But
really, if you do put in the time and effort, you will learn a lot and you
will do just fine!
• -BUY THE AP CALCULUS STUDY GUIDE BOOK AND
FLASHCARDS. They will give you extra learning material and will
totally prepare you for the test. I made the mistake of not getting one
this year and overall, I feel like I have potential to know all the given
material if I did buy it.

20. What previous students had to say..
• Be prepared to put in work, especially if you're playing one or two
sports. The workload is medium and that might affect your grade if you
play a sport like football.
• Don't be afraid to ask questions. Come after school or before school if
you need extra help. Keep up with the homework, and the quizzes will
be really easy. Get a study guide.
• Be ready and don't slack off. Always do homework or you will be left
behind.

21. • 70% Math Content & Critical Thinking (Tests & Quizzes)
• 15% Professionalism (Homework & Projects)
• 5 % Written Communication
• 5% Oral Communication (Group & Individual Presentations)
• 5% Collaboration (Class Discussions & Group Participation)
