<p>Most of the schools that I have been looking at give credit for Calc 1 and 2 for a 4/5 on the BC. They call these courses Math 103 and 104, with some variation. I went and looked at questions from the course descriptions and looked at some of the exams, and now I am worried about not knowing the stuff that I could potentially be skipping. There is not much on series on the AB test. I took a 2nd practice test out of the PR, and it barely got to parametric curves, and solids of revolutions, let alone, in depth on series. Did anyone either take BC as a sophmore and then take college courses in Calculus, or is anyone now in college. Do you feel that you are/were prepared enough.</p>
<p>First of all, on the AB test there is nothing in regards to: series, parametrics. There are volumes of solids of revolution, but not arc length, or surface area. I am a senior, I took Calc 2 last semester at a local community college. I definitely felt prepared for it and I did well. It all depends on your school.</p>
<p>My bad, I meant to say the BC test. It just seems like it is still focusing mostly on the AB topics, and they only touch on series and the Taylor series. I'll finish up the Princeton review book and then look at another book I have, and I guess then I should be prepared. I just got bogged down with the questions I saw. They were from a Math 104 final from Berkely, and I could do around 4-5/15 of them.</p>
<p>At Duke, Math 103 is multivariable calc, and Math 104 is linear algebra, so I don't think the numbers always match. :p I took the AP Calc BC exam, placed out of two semesters of intro calculus, and went into multivariable. If you get placement, I would DEFINITELY use it. Into calc in college, although it's supposed to be the same as Calc BC, is usually a lot harder. Depending on the school, it may cover topics Calc BC doesn't- hyperbolic functions, for example. It's not too much of a big deal; most people I know went straight into multivariable calc and did fine.</p>
