<p>You really need to look at the college’s calc curriculum. My daughter’s college offers calc in several flavors - basic, for engineers, for bio majors, for economics majors, etc. Each of these series of classes (most go through calc 3 although some stop at calc 2), have different things which they include/leave out. She took both Calc AB (got a 5) and then multivariable (sort of a calc 3) in high school. They only counted the AB credits and she placed into Calc 2 for engineers (she will be majoring in Math/econ). This flavor of Calc 2 almost skipped all the series work of the BC curriculum and spent half the semester doing multi (good for my daughter who has not had the series work.) Had she come in with Calc BC and not multi - she would have placed into Calc 3 and been missing all the multi stuff covered in Calc 2.</p>
