<p>I am a sophomore at a boarding school and I have to decide the courses to take next year.
For math, I can take Ap calculus Ab or AP Calculus BC. But I am not very good at math even though I have taken honor Algebra II and Honor Precalculus. And I am thinking about taking AP calculus AB instead of BC. But I am afraid that my admission will get hurt if I do not take the most rigorous math class. So my qustion is "</p>
<p>Depends on what you’re other grades will be. If BC would be your only B, I’d say take it. If you’ll get B’s in a couple other classes, I would recommend taking AB and getting an A.</p>
<p>It is okay to take AB and get a better grade. There is no need to freak out about taking the most rigorous math class. Sure, they want to see you challenge yourself, but different people are at different levels and they don’t really care what level you’re at. Just know that Calc at UM is a lot harder than what you would do in high school, and a lot of people try and avoid it if they can by taking BC and passing the AP test. Or, passing out of Calc 1 with the AB AP Test.</p>
<p>Good luck with everything! I promise it’ll all work out. Just do what you feel is most comfortable for you. There’s no need to stress!</p>
<p>Good point. If you’re going to need to take calc II in college for whatever reason, you should try to knock it out with BC while you’re still in high school (that is, you must know the material well enough to do well enough on the AP test to pass out of calc II).</p>
