Need urgent help! Ab calculus or Bc calculus?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Okay so I'm a senior in high school and I was recommended and put in a Bc calculus class this year. So far I understand everything (were reviewing trig and pre cal ) but I'm afraid that once the material gets harder, I won't be able to keep up. I didn't take pre cal or ab calculus last year ( I had trig and got a 99 in the class and 98 on regents.)
The teacher is awesome and I have friends who took ab calculus in the class and could help me out. My only other ap class is ap physics. </p>

<p>So basically I want to know whether I should switch bc calculus for ab calculus. I don't want it to be where I wait a month and then realize that it's too hard. I think I could really put like 2 hours a day into bc. Is that enough to get like 90+ in the class? Is there really a difference between ab and bc in terms of difficulty?
Plus the teacher for ab has a pretty bad reputation and I actually understand everything the bc teacher says.
There are other people in the bc class who came from trig too and actually did worse than me on the regents and class so if they can stay I guess so can I ?
Please if someone could help that would be awesome.
I heard that ab and bc are the same except bc has some extra topics but the difficulty level is similar, is that true?</p>

<p>Stick with BC. Yes, BC is basically an extension of AB.</p>

<p>Alright thanks, I kinda have to make my decision by tomorrow and I’m gonna just stay in bc.</p>

<p>yeah you should</p>

<p>precalc is basically alg3 right? you can get by without alg3, so long as you’ve taken alg2. it’s really just harder stuff from that early algebra. i can’t remember anything that was completely new, but that’s just my school. if you can do trig, then i think you’re good.</p>

<p>Trig is IMO a better skill to have than that what precalculus and Calculus AB teaches.</p>

<p>You’ll be fine if you seriously did that well on trig class!</p>

<p>I’m in BC calc as a junior right now, and we are about a month into school. So far we have covered limits, rules for when continuity exists and for when derivatives exist. Graphing continuity and derivatives. Product and quotient rule. Chain rule. Implicit differentiation. All in a month. If you can keep up with that pace you should be good!</p>
