Should I switch to AP Calculus AB?

<p>I'm in Calc BC right now and my grade is pretty bad. I'm a junior, btw.
I have till the end of this week to switch to AB or i'm stuck in BC for the rest of the semester. I've finished about 6 weeks in BC and as I mentioned above, my average is 79. My teacher recommends I switch to AB, as my junior grades are important. </p>

<p>Should I switch or should I try and work my way through BC? Please give me some advice as soon as you can, i've only got 2 days left.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Stay, you will learn so much more. Come on, it is probably from the logs, trigs and all the review from the previous year. The calculus part is a breeze.</p>

<p>Thanks. There was a ton of review actually. I’m considering switching because I think I can easily get a 90+ in AB since the content is considerably less and they go way slower. I just want my junior grades to look good.</p>

<p>Yea, I got a 74% on my last Calc test cause I forgot my trig identities… Do not worry about grades, just learn all that you can. 20-30 years from now, it won’t matter what grade you got, but what you have learned and how you used it.</p>

<p>But my main worry is college admissions. Wouldn’t the bad grade look bad on my resume?</p>

<p>I would definitely suggest that you switch to AP AB if you think you can ace it.
I got a horrible grade (nearly a D) in AP Math during my freshmen year. Thank god, I made the excellent decision to switch to the honors root, in which I got a strait “A” in Honors PreCalc Sophemore Year, and will get an “A” in AB Calc with little effort.</p>

<p>An A (perhaps even an A-, but not lower), is better than anything below a “B” in BC Calc.</p>

<p>Yeah, that sounds about right. I’m still confused but i should clear everything up soon. Thanks a ton!</p>
