[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. I am confused. I've read a lot of advice on here about repeating Calc BC in college to "get the right foundation". If subsequent classes are not really dependent on BC, why bother with the repeat?

DC did AB in 11th grade (AP:5) and BC in 12th. Assuming an AP score of 3 in BC, should they repeat Calc 2 in college? This will be a STEM program.[/quote]

If the school gives credit for a 3, don’t repeat. If it doesn’t, talk with the faculty/advisors there and see what they suggest. I work at a school that doesn’t give credit for 3’s (the 5 on AB would get credit for calc 1), and I’d probably give different advice depending on major: bio is different from physics, etc.[/quote]

Anything in Engineering or Physics consider Calc BC like you would Algebra. They say that if you get an MS in almost any Engineering or Physics it's the same amount of math as a BS in Math.

Computer Science is different you can get away without doing any Calculus BC even though its a requirement.
