Calculus BC without AB?

<p>Ah a father, he will be drafted!!</p>

<p>Take BC if you think you can do it. You can consider about going to a community college for Multivariable Calc during your senior year.</p>

<p>if you think u can handle it, (sounds like u can) than go for it.</p>

<p>i was faciing a similar dilemma, im a junior now in "pre-calc honors gifted"</p>

<p>my math teacher was like, why would u wanna take bc and go into a harder class if u can just take ab, especially if theyre both college credits.</p>

<p>so w/e i also get straight a's in math, but i figured ill just take ab with ap stat,</p>

<p>im conisdering drafting a wrestlingchamp, actually nah... i'll just blacklist ya for not taking bc when it is offered</p>

<p>coldegg, u want to calm that ego down a bit? I'm sure your good at math but theres myriad people better than you...but to the original subject yes take calc bc</p>

<p>I definitely reccomend for you to take BC! You can suffer with me next year! (well, not so much you as me... I'm alright at math, lol - bottom of my class of the brightest students in my grade so I'm average :()</p>

<p>At our school, we're only supposed to take AB OR BC... students who're in the honor track level take AB and students who're in one level above the "honor track" (those extremely qualified students, there's about 50 of us in a class of 500+) go on to take BC!</p>

<p>I've even considered dropping down to AB because I'm usually top of my class in an "honor" class but in the accelerated math class above even honors, I'm dying lol... </p>

<p>but yeah. I'll tough it out. I want that 4/5 on the AP test for those college credits! ;)</p>

<p>Original Poster- take BC, forget about AB. If youre as good at math as you say you are, BC wont be a problem at all.</p>

<p>A LOT of students in my school take Pre-calc in junior year, and BC in senior year. I'm one of the only two people took Calc- AB in junior year. Our school have Calc AB and BC at the same period, so if you cant handle BC, you still can drop to AB anytime you want. And it's really silly to take AB before BC, since BC cover AB for the entire semester. If it's your last year, then go for BC!</p>

<p>I am astounded by your arrogance.</p>

<p>jason if youre talking about the person who posted right before you did- hes not being arrogant at all. If youre talking about the original poster talking about blowing off classes, then i agree.</p>

<p>hmmm, sorry guys, but a little correction here! it's "she", not "he", thanks. And Jason, if I sounded arrogant in the previous post, I apologize, and special thank to milesguidon ^_^

<p>I was talking to the OP of this thread.</p>

<p>ok then, nvm lol</p>

<p>Could you go from Algebra 2/Trig to Calc BC? I'm kind of studying somethings like the derivative and limits so do you think I could do that? Thanks</p>

<p>well, it's a big jump, I won't convince you to do so, because in order to handle it, you r gonna have to give out a hugh amount of time, and study so much harder than other kids. If you're a genius, then it's not gonna be a problem. I'll suggest you to take Calc AB, or you can take Pre-calc, then Calc BC the year after.</p>

<p>I think it depends on how your school teaches it. The material on the Calc BC test includes all of Calc AB. If your school expects students to take AB before BC, that means that your BC class will just jump right into the BC material, skipping AB which you would need. However, I suspect that your school teaches AB material first in the BC class (as your teacher said you were ready for it).</p>

<p>Go for the BC w/o fear. It's challenging but not incredibly difficult, plus you sound like you'll be ready for it. Also, I've heard of but never known of anyone who took both AB and BC. It's always sounded really ridiculous to me - that would involve a lot of repetition, and it would just waste your time.</p>

<p>It's not bad at all. I'm taking BC right now without AB, as do many others at my HS. It's just AB at a slightly faster pace along with some more interesting topics. I'm sure you can handle it.</p>

<p>I know, but he/she didn't take pre-calc, it's gonna be very tough to take BC w/out taking either pre-calc or AB</p>

<p>personally, i would never take both AB and BC, its pointless. Its essentially taking the same class twice, with like an extra month, at the most, of new material.</p>
