<p>So just take BC Calculus and save yourself the trouble.</p>

<p>Actually, isn’t that a viable option? At my school, BC Calculus encompasses calculus I and II.</p>
<p>Ya, Jiggly. I think what you meant to say was “F me”</p>
<p>BC at my school assumes you already know Calc I and teachesCalc II only</p>
<p>Then take Calc 1 over the summer and BC next school year. You’re making this difficult, Jiggs.</p>
<p>BC is a 0 period. >_></p>
<p>Okay…whoever said you could skip Calc 1 and go straight to Calc 2 wants you fail. Unless you already know the rules of taking derivatives, their applications, limits, basic integration (up to by parts), the fundamental theorem of calculus and various other topics, you cannot skip into calc 2. </p>
<p>Secondly, are we talking about taking calc at community college or at a major university? Community college calc is a joke, so either doing both or neither would be advised. If you want to finish math off forever do it in CC, if you plan on continuing math at a GOOD college, just take AB instead. CC math = fail for the transition to higher mathematics. </p>
<p>If taking calc at a reputable school, just take 1 and do BC during the year. Calc 1 would most likely be rigorous over the summer at a major college and you wouldn’t want head over into sequence and series/polar/parametric/trig sub/partial fractions/double integrals land after it while studying and working.</p>
<p>As SOON as you are at the point that you understand integration, you could learn every single Calc II subject on your own with absolutely no help from a teacher. So take Calc I, understand the basics very well, and slide right into Calc II. </p>
<p>I really would not suggest Calc I on your own, even though it is quite easy. Having a teacher for the basics is great. Is there an option to take Calc I at your school and take the BC test through self-studying?</p>
