<p>Pardon the title; It was suppose to be Taking AP exams in college. I used my sister's computer in privy. </p>
<p>In the interest of transferring to the school of my choice, Stanford, I must finish my time at my community college by the fall of 2008. I am a math major, 4.0 student, and with decent Sat II Scores. I wish to place out of Calculus II by taking the AP Calculus Exam BC. I have heard that Calculus II is really difficult, but math naturally comes to me, and my college's equivalent of Calculus AB is far the easiest class I have ever had. I have studied Calculus I material since the fall of 2006, along with friends in AP Calculus, and I earnestly feel I can pass the BC test with a score of three, which is all I need to skip Calculus II. Are there any disadvantages with taking the Calculus BC test? Would colleges disdain on college students using AP tests to accelerate? I would take it over the summer, but I plan to take remedial Chem, an English course, and French II.
In addition, I received an AP score of 3 on the English Lit exam, but placed into remedial English. I petitioned to re-take the exam, which I took the same week as the 2006 AP tests, and have not been allowed to retake the essay portion( for what I believe to be reasons of academic elitism). Should I take a course equivalent to Freshmen English at CSULB, take a remedial class, or take the AP English Lang for a score of 4?</p>
