<p>At our college prep school, BC Calc is for the students who are way out there in space. The department head said it’s the “hair on fire lane”. And almost all the students have tutors because it’s so rigorous. So AB Calc or BC Calc? Depends on the rigor of your school, and the colleges will see the school profile to know. My son is a CS major and was in the AB lane, which was rigorous. However, he is retaking Calculus in college and is grateful that he took it in high school because he’d be in bad shape if he hadn’t. If you aren’t a STEM major, then APs and honors in other subjects will be fine on your transcript.</p>
