[quote=Anonymous]Back when I was in school, 20 years ago, the advanced sequence was Calc AB in 11th grade and Calc BC in 12th grade. I got Bs in both classes, but 5s on both APs. The college credit, if available, is based ONLY on the AP score, not the class grade. However, at the college I went to, you only get credit for Calc I (the equivalent of the Calc AB) for a 5 on the Calc BC exam, and no credit at all for the Calc AB exam (their rule is the same even now). A good question is whether you can take the easier class to keep the GPA up, and then prepare for the exam independently to take in May. If the student is a 12th grader, then check to see if he/she would get any credit for the AB exam in the schools to which he/she wants to apply. If there's no credit anyway, then there's no reason to take the AP or the AP class.[/quote]
