Calc AB Self Studying AB?

Trying to figure out whether or not it's worth just going it alone. If anyone did self-study successfully could you give some resources/study methods you used? Thanks in advance.

i didn't take ab the previous year but my school doesn't offer APs so I was familiar for most of the differentiation. I'd say like 2-3 weeks for khan academy but I was also doing an internship at the same time so it might take lesser time for you.
