[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dual Enroll in Calc 1 at the closest community college. If she doesn't like online, choose a class that meets in the evenings.

However, realize this is mainly to list as a credential on college apps. If she ends up in a STEM major and needs to complete Calc 1/2/3, it's not always advisable to jump into Calc 2 at a different college. Sometimes it's better to do the entire series at one place (and IMO with the same professor).

Same advice for taking AP Calc - not necessarily jumping right into Calc 2 in college.

My son received a 5 on the AP Music Theory test. At the Music Major orientation his freshman year, they recommended not skipping to Music Theory 2, but to take the entire series from the university (retake Music Theory 1).[/quote]

FOr MT that certainly makes sense.  Most music schools have a method for teaching MT, and it may not be exactly the same as AP MT.  So you might miss out on key material if it's not on AP test and they teach it in MT1.

Calc OTOH is pretty standard.  I however don't recommend skipping Calc 1 or 2 unless you get a 5 on the AP test.  There might be too many gaps otherwise
