<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I am currently a junior, and I am currently taking the first year of the IB HL Math course at my school.</p>
<p>Next year, I have the option to take either the second year of the IB HL Math, or I can take AP Calculus BC. </p>
<p>I'm not an IB diploma candidate, so I want to switch to the AP Calc, but I am unsure about which class colleges would rather see.</p>
<p>Help me out?</p>
<p>If you’re not in the IB Diploma, do the AP BC class.</p>
<p>But if you have a firm grounding in math, which Math HL helps you with, the BC test should require less than a week of review/additional self-study.</p>
<p>If you take IB Math HL, you should be able to take both the IB exam and the AP Calc BC exam with minimal extra studying. Or at least, that’s what I have heard from my teacher and friends who are in IB Math HL. I am currently taking IB Calc SL, so the same would apply for me except with AP Calc AB.</p>
