For reference, I'm taking Ms. Bhakta's AP Calculus AB class this year. It's April right now, and we're currently reviewing for the AP exam. The school is also on block schedule. Ms. Bhakta is often available during lunch and after school, but be sure to notify her beforehand. Her class is pretty easy itself if you put enough effort into studying (I got a high B first semester but an A is quite achievable). Her quizzes and tests are pretty decent (I study from the presentation slides she uploads on Google Classroom, but studying from the textbook and/or on YouTube might help as well). Quizzes tend to be free response, while tests are a mix of multiple choice and free response questions. She lets you retake the quizzes if you don't get a passing score (75%). Tests don't usually have a retake, but once, she allowed us to "retake" the test and would average out the grades of both tests (literally a lifesaver that day). She also gives extra credit when you participate in the spirit week events. Currently, we're reviewing for the AP exam. We do multiple choice (Monday) and free response practice questions (Wednesday and Friday) in class every week. There is a total of 8 study sessions (of which 3 are not mandatory and are after school). You're able to check your answers/score at the end of the week and can ask her questions during class. If you've spent your time wisely in her class and study, you should be able to get a 3 or higher on the exam. Anywho, best of luck to you if you're considering/planning on taking her! Tldr: Amazing class. Nice and helpful teacher. Take Ms. Bhakta if you can! You won't regret it :)
