<p>There are some other factors that people have yet to bring up. If possible, I’d have your daughter ask some friends that took BC about how the teacher is. With the way that my BC teacher structured the curriculum, he taught at an extremely fast pace and then left ~1 month before the AP test to strictly practice and review material. It’s a system that works and he had 24 students get a 5 and 5 students get a 4 (out of a class of 29) on the test the previous year and I go to a public school. </p>
<p>Also, ask her if she enjoys math (or at least finds it not boring). That will play a big difference in how she performs in the class. How is she doing in pre-calc? </p>
<p>Colleges will definitely NOT look down upon people that take AB and then BC the following year but I just want to say that it’s is very do-able and BC isnt THAT much more difficult than AB. I took a similar courseload with similar extracurriculars in terms of level of commitment and responsibility and ended up LESS stressed than sophomore year and more free time.</p>
