Hi,
I'm a high school student in AP Calculus BC. Ever since the beginning of the year, I've had trouble getting any grade other than B's and C's on assessments. I try really hard - I do all of my homework, study, do the practice problems, read the review book, etc. Somehow, though, I can never grasp the concepts behind the material.
This is really scaring me. I have been a very good student in math for as long as I can remember (ex. got A's in precalculus last year). Does anybody know what I can do to do well in this class? Even just some general studying tips would help. Thanks.

Try to draw and visualize the problems as well as the concepts behind them. See the problems from a geometric perspective. Graph the function and graph its derivative; see how they are related. Integration is area, etc. Also, a AP Calculus BC review book could benefit you.
Hope this helps.
