<p>I'm considering signing up for them in the same year (next year). Now, I am an exceptional math student, the type that gets straight As and will get a 700+ on the Math SAT guaranteed. Unfortunately, my school doesn't offer BC, so I figured another AP in my strongest subject would even things against other applicants that would have taken BC. Would AP Calc AB+ AP Stat have the same bearing as Calc BC? Also, what type of math would be covered in each of these? My guess is that Calc is more analysis of graphs, physics-type problems, and AP Stat is just plug-and-chug. Is this right?</p>
<p>calc ab is pretty much just differentiation and integration
stats is basically interpreting data and setting up experiments/studies/simulations and such.</p>
<p>im currently taking stats and bc, and stats really doesn’t use a ton of actual math (just occasional algebra)</p>
<p>but my guess would be no, stats + ab doesnt = bc, bc is really just ab with waaay more depth</p>
<p>the only thing id say about taking ab and stats in the same year is what would you take the year after next year? (assuming youre a sophomore or freshman)</p>
<p>Take AB, but self-study BC. BC is not hard, just has like 4 more concepts.</p>
<p>tennis92- actually I’ll be a senior next year, so no need to worry about that
boiboy- I figured that would be a good idea. I can self study BC. By then I would be done with SATs, Senior project, etc. </p>
<p>I plan to minor in math, Calc 3 is a necessity in college. Taking BC would cover Calc 1 and 2 I belive, right?</p>
<p>Yes it should cover both of them.</p>
