I then "caught up" by learning all of Calc 1, 2, and 3 by the end of February of 11th grade.
I don't believe you.
Larson 8th edition pretty shiny cover. 3 and a half notebooks full of problems worked from the books. My dad bought me the solution manuals too.
My drive to do it stemmed from placing 1st at a state math competition in Precalculus in 10th grade but then not even getting a single trophy in any event in Precalculus at the National version of the competition. I knew the national competition didn't subdivide students into Calc 1 and Calc 2+ so I would be competing against people already with a lot of experience - I wanted to step up my game to be sure I got some kind of placement in 11th, and I did.
Disclaimer: I think this particular competition (National Mu Alpha Theta) took place at the same time as MOSP many years, so it's quite possible the 40 best students in the country were taken out of the equation. Also, "national" was really only like 13 states.
Edit: Thank you, Internet, for having these posted.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like I took the Advanced Calculus (Calc 3) topic test that year, but I did take the test the next year.
