Online Calc BC or self-study?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm a junior now and taking calculus AB at my school. My school doesn't offer calc BC though, and I don't want to interrupt the calculus track by taking AP stats. So basically I'm between online calc BC or self-studying. </p>

<p>I need a math credit for senior year, so my teacher recommended I take an easier math course and self-study. I just worry I would lose motivation in an easier class which is why I'm considering the online. I also want to be as competitive as possible when I apply for colleges and scholarships.</p>

<p>Next year I'm also taking AP physics which means I need study time, and AP English which will be a lot of reading. Second semester I'm taking AP government, so I'll have 4 AP's if I take the online class along with year long band and online Spanish 2. I'm also doing marching band and keeping a job throughout the year.</p>

<p>So basically, online or self-study?</p>

<p>Could you take Calculus II at a local college? Are there any other juniors in Calculus AB? What are they doing next year?</p>

<p>Are you saying your school would give you credit for self-studying Calculus BC? If so, I think that’s the better option if you’re any good at math because you wouldn’t have to do assignments. :slight_smile: It’s easier to lose motivation in an online class.</p>

<p>But colleges don’t expect you to take math classes your school doesn’t offer.</p>
