<p>No one can really tell you what's difficult and what's not, shouldn't you know yourself? If the workload of your sophomore year was even a bit difficult, I would say drop some of those AP classes for maybe a re****l elective.</p>

<p>The difference between AB and BC, is simply to think of Calculus being divided into A, B, and C, Each covering different material. If you were in a higher pre-calc class this year, such as Pre-Calc honors rather then reg. pre-calc, you might have covered more of the A part of Calc. If you learn most of derivatives and integrals this year, with the addition of basic limits and all the regular pre-calc and have no problem with the material, I would suggest BC, but if not, AB is fine right now. Senior year you might consider taking AP stat along with BC, and then in the future doing multi var. Calc 3.</p>
