I took AP Calculus BC last year and had a great teacher. He recorded all of his lectures and posted them on his website http://www.toddfadoir.com. I encourage you to give it a look. It is well organized and very thurough. We used the book "Calculus, 4th Ed. by James Stewart". It was a fine book and you can also get a worked out answer booklet if you would like.

There are several free intro calculus texts available online. Here are some links:
http://ocw.mit.edu/ans7870/resources/Strang/strangtext.htm
http://www.math.wisc.edu/~keisler/calc.html
Note that these are high-quality texts aimed more at teaching calculus than teaching to the test. For a more test-oriented approach, I would recommend an edition of the Larson/Hostetler/Edwards text (old is fine). You can probably pick one up used for cheap.
