<p>Than AP Calc BC? The practice tests I do from PR, old M/C, and Peterson's seem to suggest so.</p>
<p>No. When I take practice AB exams I always score high 4’s or 5’s, when I take practice BC exams I usually get high 3’s-mid 4’s.</p>
<p>BC is much harder than AB. There are additional topics that are more difficult and the questions that cover the same topics as AB are more difficult.</p>
<p>BC is much much harder. I received a 5 on an AB simulation a month ago, but still have plenty of BC topics to learn.</p>
<p>BC is harder because of one reason: Taylor polynomial. That topic is always on the AP exam every year.</p>
<p>BC has a lot of difficult versions of AB questions.
I think your old MC isn’t accurate or something, because I’ve never encountered a BC test that was easier than an AB test.</p>
<p>But the passing rates for 5s are higher for AP Calc BC than it is for AB</p>
<p>There is an obvious causation: The students taking Calc BC are more proficient in math than those who are taking Calc AB. Moreover, Calc AB has students who are taking the “average” path, as in Calc AB during their senior year.</p>
<p>Thats because the curve is muuuuuch more generous</p>
<p>^Only by 4-6 points. It shouldn’t make that much of a difference though.</p>
<p>oh, I just looked at the chart, and you are right. What you said makes sense, too.</p>
<p>haha or some schools don’t offer BC…like mine lol</p>
