[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do some kids take AP Calc AB junior year and then AP Calc BC senior year?  Or that is not a thing?  I don't know much about what happens past pre-calculus.[/quote]

This is rare in my experience with 2 kids who’ve gone through the pathway. There is a lot of overlap. Perhaps if you don’t want to take stats as a senior and did AB? My kids did this prior to AP Precalc and at the time if you didn’t precalc intensified (which was the highest offered)  you would be prepared for BC next. I’m not sure how that shakes out now, if there is a required AP score on precalc that determines if you can do BC vs AB. My oldest did AB as a senior so there wasn’t really a worry about the next HS class. My next one did BC as a junior and did well, they studied for the AP test a lot in order to get to multi. The BC AP test gives you 2 scores: 1 for AB and 1 for BC. So you could potentially get credits for both classes in college just taking BC.
However some districts require you to do AB then BC. But not APS.[/quote]
