<p>Should I be worried about this? I self-studied during the summer and so far I've learned limits (chapter 2) and derivatives (chapter 3) such as chain rule, implicit differentiation . Right now I'm half-way done with ch. 4 which has to do with "applications of derivatives." After this i will be moving on to integrals (chapter 5). This is all by myself, the teacher just started limits and is on chapter 2. I asked her about this and she told me to change to AB because she expects me to know the AB material. Although she doesn't know that I already know portions of it because of my independent study. I've heard that in BC, the teacher will teach the AB part first and then teach BC part so i shouldn't worry. However, I need more approval.</p>
<p>At my school you take ab or bc senior year. The majority take bc and our class average is about a 4.8. My school is a decent public school so you shouldn’t have much to worry about.</p>
<p>I can tell you are the type of student who can handle BC. If you feel you can tackle it, take it.</p>
<p>If the BC course covers the AB material from the beginning, then don’t worry. When I went to high school, the only calculus course was BC, taught to students who just completed precalculus.</p>
<p>AB is a semester’s worth of college calculus spread out over a year, and BC is a year of college calculus in a year. Most students at my daughter’s school take BC, and the less math-inclined kids take AB. The fact that you’re even trying to studying this outside of class means that BC is the right class for you.</p>
