<p>Right now, I am taking AP Calc AB as a sophomore. I'm doing very well in the class and I'm aiming to get a good grade on the AP exam as well. However, I have an interesting choice when it comes to next year. Beyond AB Calc, my school offers BC Calc, AP Stat, and a mutlivariable calculus class at night. I want to take stat, but if I'm going to take another calculus class anyway, wouldn't it be best to continue it right after taking Calc AB?</p>
<p>I think I'm pretty much forced to take BC Calc, because then senior year I would take Stat and if I want to I could take Multivariable Calc in the evenings. </p>
<p>It's annoying because I will have already learned much of the BC curriculum this year and that makes this year kind of useless.</p>
<p>Any suggestions regarding the progression of math courses I should take?</p>
<p>i think that your progression is fine; you should take BC calc right after AB, even though most people take one or the other. AP stat is a relatively easy class; you'll have absolutely no problem with it after BC.</p>
<p>Definitely take BC calc- if you're taking AB as a sophomore, you've obviously got some talent in math. Even this humanities oriented kid thinks AP Stats is easy. Take both if you can, but if you can only take one, go with BC.</p>
<p>wait... why not both... i doubled up bc and stat junior year...</p>
<p>his schedule may not allow for both...</p>
<p>take BC calculus - the first half of the year is review, but that's ok. It'll give you the background you need for multivariable...</p>
<p>Yeah I really don't think taking both is an option. I'm loaded with classes including 3 other AP's besides math, science research, and spanish. I really have no extra time. I've also heard that Stat is a lot easier. However, having taken AB should make BC less difficult.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. I think I'm leaning towards BC simply because it gives me more options for the following years.</p>
<p>Stat is (from what I hear, because my school doesn't offer it) an easier course, but BC won't be too bad. It's the normal progression anyway.</p>
