[quote=Anonymous][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]

We’re not interested in the AP credit. I’m realy just trying to find out how much harder/what the difference is between these two courses. She would take the AP if it’s not that much more work than honors and only because it would stronger on her transcript. [/quote]
