[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also perfectly acceptable option to do AB junior year and BC senior year (this is from multiple sources).[/quote]

My kid took AB as a junior and BC as a senior.  Because much of the material is the same/similar, he thought he got a good foundation doing it that way.  He is currently a Math/CS double major at William and Mary.[/quote]

Same. Our district highly recommends taking AB first, then BC. [b]Typically there is only 1 kid out of 40 that didn't take AB  first.[/b]  Because of that, BC is taught differently, with the AB portion "covered" as review the first 4-5 weeks, then moving onto the new material.  Unless you have a true budding genius on hand, most kids can benefit from doing it that way.  It's much better to have a strong foundation in Calculus if kid is headed into Engineering/Math/a major that actually uses it.    My kid is extremely strong in math but BC was the first they struggled with. Finished strong and got 5 on the AP test, so starting in Calc 3 this fall at uni.[/quote]

How do you know this?  Are you stalking the entire class?[/quote]
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Chill out with your “proof” demands. [/quote]
