<p>As a junior in AP Calculus AB, I was wondering if it would "look bad" (in terms of college admissions) if I took the Calculus BC exam at the end of the year (with some minor self-study), and take the course our school offers as a senior. My reasoning behind this is:</p>

<p>-Saving $84.
-The BC exam differs only slightly from the AB. And once I get the BC credit, my AB credit goes to waste anyway.
-Not be pressured next year as a senior to perform well if I already have the exam out of my way; our school finishes the BC curriculum in the first semester, while the rest of the year is devoted to calculus that we would expect to see in college.</p>

<p>sure, you could do it. </p>

<p>you could even take a higher math course senior year at a community college if you wanted.</p>

<p>It won’t look bad if you take Calculus BC exam while taking Calc AB class. I think college would be impressed.</p>

<p>Go ahead and take BC. Good way to save money.</p>
