[quote=Anonymous]If there's room in the schedule, I'd suggest taking AB one year and BC the next year. They'll gain more confidence and may get additional college credits if they take both AP exams, depending on the college. This is not universal, however. For example, MIT (where I went) gives credit for Calc I only for a 5 on the BC AP, but nothing for lower scores and nothing for the AB exam. Calc II is about 2/3 what would have been covered in the Calc BC course, but does much deeper and further than what would have been done in high school and will not be an easy A, even if the student did well in the high school BC class and exam. It should be noted that only Calc BC is offered in the Montgomery County, MD schools and AB is skipped. My husband also took just the BC class in Long Island when he was a student and had a similar experience as I did when he took Calc II at MIT.[/quote]
