Series Details

About

This series is geared towards prepping you for the Calc AB (and BC) exam on May 9th. We'll briefly review every topic, but focus on practice problems and "formulaically" answering FRQs the "correct" way to earn all points. Each session will have practice MCQ/FRQs that are AP-style from previous exams. The sessions before 4/23/22 are AB & BC topics. The rest, marked with three asterisks (***), are BC-only topics.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Attend only the sessions you need/want!

Feel free to come 15 minutes before the session starts if you'd like extra/guided practice on any calc topic

About the Tutor

Hi! I'm a first-year EE major at Georgia Tech (originally from Savannah, GA), and I currently serve as a TA for Physics. I like to host sessions in calculus, physics, and SAT/AP prep. I enjoy hiking, painting, and learning new things. Really excited to learn with you all! 😊

Session 1

Orientation

Welcome! We'll go over this series (general expectations, policies, and structure). We'll also look at a AB/BC Calc "Cram Sheet" with all the formulas/concepts you should know so we can figure out where we would like the most help. Please bring any questions, as well as any specific topic requests. I'm open to modifying the series/adding more sessions.
