<p>I know you guys are probably sick of seeing scheduling questions, but I could use some advice :) </p>
<p>I'm a rising junior in Honors Trig. I can either take AP calc BC next year and AP stat as a senior or vice versa. Which do you recommend and why? </p>
<p>I posted this last week and got many views but no response ... I could really use your two cents!</p>
<p>If you pass AP Calc BC next year as a junior, you can enroll in a college-level math class for your senior year. If you have gotten easy A’s in math up to this point, I’d imagine AP Calc BC wouldn’t be too terribly difficult for you.</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick response! </p>
<p>I wouldn’t say its an easy A, I put a fair bit of studying in to get a low A or high B, but my engineer Dad can always help me out. </p>
<p>Do you think if I take AP calc BC as a junior and senior year take AP stat instead of a college-level course it seem as if I’m too lazy for another really hard math class senior year? As if I turned down the opportunity to take a college-level course? </p>
<p>I’m new to the CHS idea.</p>
<p>I would recommend calculus bc junior year because stats is a completely different type of math and you don’t want to forget all of your precal material.</p>
<p>@Tennischick, thank you! Do you think that if I take calc as a junior I will have forgotten it all when I have to take calc in college, though? :P</p>
<p>I would take AP Calculus BC Senior year and AP Statistics Junior year. But it’s all up to you.</p>
<p>If you are interested in math/science, I suggest taking Calc B/C junior and then either multi-variable at a nearby community college or AP stat’s senior year. My son did Calc B/C and then multi-variable and Calc B/C set him up for Physics C his senior year. Also, the 5 on the AP exam looks good on his college applications and made up for a fairly ordinary score on the Math 2 (which he took early junior year without studying).</p>
<p>Definitely take BC Calc, because AP Stat is a completely different course. BC calc is a rigorous math course which is best taken after trig</p>
<p>Looks like majority says BC. Thanks everyone!</p>
