<p>In order to achieve my goal, taking Calc III as a senior, I've come up with the plan of taking Precalc over summer (through FLVS), and skipping Calc AB, headed straight into BC for next year. Does this sound like a feasible idea/Are there any other(better) options? Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>Why? What’s the rush? Pre-calculus isn’t enough for calculus BC, I don’t like this idea at all my friend.</p>
<p>You should do it. </p>
<p>I’d like to see how this will turn out.</p>
<p>“In order to achieve my goal, taking Calc III as a senior”</p>
<p>That’s a silly and arbitrary goal. The end doesn’t justify the means (rushing through important classes).</p>
<p>Edit: Wait, you will be taking a calculus class in a classroom at some point, right? I think it would be okay to take pre-calc (it’s not a real branch of math, just some random topics they thought you should know) over the summer because presumably a lot of the AB material will be reviewed in BC.</p>
<p>It’ll work fine. Obviously, you’ll have to self-study AP Calculus AB. Skipping it totally (w/out learning any of it) is a bad idea.</p>
<p>BurnOut, do you know the relationship of AP Calc AB and BC? You don’t have to self study anything unless your school teaches only BC topics in the AP Calc BC class.</p>
<p>AP Calc BC is 60% AP Calc AB.</p>
<p>Why the rush? Why is taking Calc III so important to you. I agree with Niquii, my cousin told me that it has a good amount of topics covered in AB…</p>
<p>
That’s the point. </p>
<p>AP Calculus AB - Calculus I
AP Calculus BC - Calculus I and II</p>
<p>Oh yeah oops. I self studied both at once, I didn’t observe course boundaries.</p>
<p>I went from Pre-Calc to Calc BC and did great. It’s not going to make it harder, especially if you’re good at math. Calc BC is just AB plus some, so it will just be a little faster.</p>
