[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My thinking has changed on this after talking to a student who took differential equations or whatever the class is after Calculus B/C. Kid was at a competitive engineering program and came in w/ tons of AP credits overall, but the program required retaking that class for anyone who took it as a high school class. All to say, it probably helped with admission but that’s probably it. [/quote] It probably also helped the student have a good grade when retaking the course and exit the course with a more solid understanding of the material. Imagine learning it de novo in a class where many of the students already have studied the subject AND where the course grades are plotted on a curve. The ones who took it before are likely to be at the top of the curve and the ones who have not seen it before at the bottom. [/quote]
