I have not taken calculus and I plan to take the PCAT in October. I will be taking precalc for the fall semester come August. However, I have been trying to at least teach myself the basics of Calculus thru books like Calc for the Clueless, Schaums and Cliffs and I have no idea what is going on. I do understand limits though. But I am trying to teach myself about derivatives etc. and am completely confused.
Do you think I could take the PCAT and do well in October while taking precalc and not calc?
Does anyone have any suggestions about what is the easiest way to try and teach myself Calc?
I found these 2 websites and find that watching the tutorial is somewhat helpful, but not much. Any suggestions? Could I get a tutor to teach me the basics? Does anyone know of any other good website with videos to teach calculus?
