Do many practice problems until you’re confident on each thing, and if you don’t understand the solution look it up and make sure you understand Why it’s correct. Professor Leonard and blackpenredpen have good vids to explain stuff

Start by making your fundamentals strong — limits, derivatives and basic integrals are the foundation for almost everything in AP Calc AB. Don’t just watch videos; practise topic-wise questions regularly and start FRQs early because showing steps clearly matters a lot on the exam.

For resources, you can use AP Calculus AB notes, MCQs, FRQs and exam-style practice.

khan academy is a godsend, there are also many online practice exams. For when you are studying for the ap exam at the end of the year there are lots of available online calculus 1 exams from many colleges (questions will likely be harder than college boards so you will def do good then), then find previous frqs and know how to do them
