Merits of AP Courses

<p>^^^ I tend to agree, especially since there is no good way to measure how the Calc was taught at HS in 42 min periods and how it is done when taken 2 - 3x a week with recitations. My son also took BC in HS, got a great score on the AP exam but redid Calc 2 because his advisor said that Engineering students really needed be very solid in Calc 2. </p>

<p>He did do well in the class but I asked him if it felt like he knew the math they were teaching. He said he knew the math but the problem sets were much harder than the ones he had done in HS. I’m glad the advisor had him stay with Calc 2 to start.</p>
