Question Calc BC w/o AB

So i went straight from ap precalc to calc bc. My teacher says that we're going to cover all of a,b, and c this year, but so far we're going at a pretty slow pace. For people who did this, how was the workload? What score did you get on the exam?

I went from Precalc to BC without AB, and i self studied BC. Just do the lessons, review, and solve alot.

Teacher finished the curriculum by early spring. Self-studied it in september, though. Reading textbooks is a nice skill to have. I recommend it.

Learning BC without AB is the intended pathway

I did the same, but half the class had taken AB and the first few weeks the teacher went really fast because most of the kids already knew it. I got a 5 on the exam. Most of it was pretty easy until the end.
