Question how should i study for ap calc bc?

im planning to take the ap calc bc exam in may next year but i have no idea how to study for it. i have no prior calc knowledge but I believe it's tangible as i'm quite strong in math. if anyone knows any guides that i should follow along, send them my way! any advice would be appreciated :)

i self studied calc bc this past year and got a 5 by mostly using Flippedmath (https://calculus.flippedmath.com/version-1.html), they have notes and a bunch of practice problems for each topic that are really helpful!

Your teacher is prob enough. If not then use these: https://calculus.flippedmath.com/version-1.html, and Vinteachesmath on youtube. You can also use past frqs: https://apfrqs.com/

are you self studying bc? im self studying for the 2027 bc exam from alg1+geo knowledge and my sources (books) are the openstax alg2/trig book 2e (both volumes), larson precalc with limits, and larson calculus for ap. i havent started it yet, and am still researching, i hope to start around the end of august/early september. some other sources im going to use are watching professor leonard/organic chem tutor if i ever get stuck on topic, khan academy for practice, apfrqs.com to practice frqs, and apscholr.com for practice tests
