[quote=Anonymous]Our kid took AP credit for Calc 1&2, and did just fine in Calc 3 and Calc 4 (diff eq/whatever you want to call it in the eng sequence). Got A and B+ (more to do with the prof than any lack of knowledge prior). Did same for AP Chem. Went straight to Orgo for Freshman with AP/IB credit. That was a bit more struggle, but I suspect they'd have struggled in Orgo anyhow (and the main issue was kids already having taken Orgo in HS and retaking that were killing the curve---88 avg on a midterm in Orgo is NOT normal---in reg Orgo it's typically 50/55 at my kid's school). So your kid needs to evaluate if they are ready to take credit and move on, or if they need more foundation (so if not 100% certain with calc and need for major, maybe you retake). But then again, Calc 2 is known for being a weed out killer class as well, so many recommend taking credit and going into Calc 3 [/quote]
