How to get an A:

Homework:
Do all problems if you are unsure
If you understand the material, only do the problems that look the hardest

Study to get a 5:

1. Make/print out flashcards to memorize formulas (derivatives of trig functions, integrals of trig functions, derivative rules, Taylor Series, polar conversions, etc). Two-Thirds of the Exam is no-calculator. Review the flashcards until you memorize them.
