<p>Okay heres the situation:</p>
<p>I took a Summer school AP calc class, and aced it. According to my </p>
<p>counselor i can take the next level of calc. Heres my prob, would the next </p>
<p>level of calc be BC calc, or beyond? I know I did the Calc AB curriculum, I </p>
<p>was just wondering whats next. I go to a public school if that helps</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>It depends. Which topics did you cover?</p>
<p>Generally Calc BC would be next. It pretty much covers all the AB topics but then throws some new stuff in like Le'Hospital's theorem and Sequences and Series. After BC, Multivariable is next, i think.</p>
<p>No, you go onto Mutlivariate calculus and Linear Algebra. Since you took AB already, you could learn the miscell. stuff in BC in a few weeks. Taking BC would be repeating 75% of what you took in AB.</p>
<p>Yes, BC is basically AB with a couple more topics. Imo would have been much wiser to take BC unless you're really not that mathematicall inclined. However, usually you'll have to take BC even if you've taken AB. </p>
<p>If you have the option, I would recommend self studying the few BC topics that you haven't been over and going on to mv calc. Taking BC would be overkill and a waste of time.</p>
<p>Hold on though, since I took this class during the summer, I still have to take the AP exam to get college credit. It it necessary to take both AB and BC? or can i go to the next level of calc?</p>
<p>Its up to your school.</p>
<p>However, if you have a solid grasp of AB. I would definitely recommend going on to mv calc if you're given the option. At time same time, learn the BC topics that were covered in AB (Shouldn't take more than a few weeks). Then come AP test time, you can just take the BC test and that'll cover both AB and BC.</p>
<p>BC = Multivariable Calculus (Calc 2). You need to take that next.</p>
<p>ehh. no. BC=AB + a few things, series and lhopital's rule and maybe one other chapter..</p>
<p>Multivariant is after BC. my recommendation is self study a few chapters and then dual enroll at a local university to take multivariant calc. I wouldn't worry too much about the AP, though it would be a nice touch.</p>
<p>If you have already had AB, then BC isn't worth a full year.</p>
<p>Something like 56% of BC takers get a 5. It was pretty much a breeze for me.</p>
