<p>My school doesn't have 2 classes for AB and BC, only one. That means that the first semester is AB and the second is BC. (I am guessing this means that there will be a ton of homework) Does anyone else's school do this? I was surprised when I found this out, because I always thought that AP calc AB and BC were 2 separate classes so I wasn't sure if this was common or not.</p>
<p>Most schools have AP Calculus AB/BC (AB first semester and BC second). My school does. My school also has AP Calculus 1A/1B which is a year long class for AP Calculus AB.</p>
<p>That means you’ll have to take both exams. Well, that’s if you want more college credit than just taking the BC exam.</p>
<p>AB and BC aren’t two seperate classes. AB covers about 60% of the topics of BC. You’ll be moving faster in BC because you will be covering more topics. You might as well do BC if you can handle it.</p>
<p>@taco You don’t have to take both exams, usually students choose the one they understand the most or feel most comfortable with.</p>

<p>It doesn’t work like that. You get an AB sub score when you take the BC exam.</p>
<p>Well, my school has Calc AB and then BC with some multivariable/vector topics. Everyone’s so used to keeping things in a line (as in Algebra I then Geometry then Algebra II… etc.) that they decided not to split it into a Calc AB and a Calc BC. You take AB and then BC in my school.
Like I’m in BC right now and we just started sequences/series. And we’re about 2 months into school. That’s because all of the AB topics were already covered last year.</p>
<p>i feel like it would have been easier (if u like math) to take both as u can learn about things faster and some things like limits and L’Hospitals Rule can be taught in the beginning</p>
