<p>Hey, we are doing schedules right now, I'm a junior.
I've always been a strong math student even though I had a bad tri last tri.
My grades fell with a lot of work, I had a B+ in honors Pre Calc. Now that I'm not working again it's back to an A.</p>
<p>I want to major in finance and be an actuary later on
so do you think it's worth for me taking BC, or going the safe rout and going for AB?</p>
<p>I also have 2 other AP's and a CIS class on top of this.
Please help!
I need to decide by Thursday.</p>
<p>I would… personally go for AB.
Unless you really are brilliant at math.</p>
<p>I’m good, I’ve always been considered the smart one in math by my peers, but I’m not amazing. Some of my friends take calc 3 at a college, so I’m nowhere there.</p>
<p>BC will be more like an actual university level course in how fast you will cover the material.</p>
<p>AB will be slower paced, covering about a semester’s worth of material over a year.</p>
<p>If you are good at math, you should be able to handle BC. Note that quantitative finance and actuarial science require that you be good at math (as in needing to take advanced math courses of the type that an applied math or statistics major will take, or being an applied math or statistics major).</p>
<p>I don’t want to ruin my senior year though with a lot of AP’s etc.
I have AP psychology
Ap Lit
Honors Econ
Cis Spanish
and Calculus</p>
<p>I took BC this year and as far as the classes, just being in the BC class will prepare you more than enough for the AP test, people just in AB tend to struggle a little more as far as getting a 5. Also, what you learn in 1st semester is the entire AB curriculum so it requires some time (1/2 hr per day atleast)</p>
<p>my question is that if can i take calc 2 in college instead of loading myself in high school with all my other advanced courses, and instead taking AB.</p>
