<p>My question is should i take calculus BC without taking AB. This would be for my junior year. I am a very good math student and very far ahead in math( for my school). I would have to take it online but I am a very self motivated student. I would be taking this along with APUSH, AP Lang, and AP psych. I want to do this so I can take a community college math class my senior year, I will however have to fight my counselor tooth and nail to let me take the coarse. I would love your adobe about the counselor or the class.
Thanks</p>
<p>Yes, taking BC without AB first is fine. I think schools get people to take AB and then BC to juice up their scores.</p>
<p>Anyone else???</p>
<p>a lot of people do BC without taking AB first. but are you sure you’ll be able to handle such a rigorous schedule (with your 3 other APs added on to this)? not to make you doubt yourself, but just make sure that you know what you’re doing</p>
<p>Ds’ school assumed students went from pre-cal to either AB or BC but no one took both. Major factor was schedule since BC was double blocked for whole year. Which is why D1 took AB and D2 took BC. Both successful with pre-cal background.</p>
<p>Thanks so much everyone I think I will go for BC because most of the colleges I am applying to accept the AB sub-score.</p>
<p>I took BC concurrently with 4 other APs and I found it to be totally manageable. I’ve never been an overachiever, just average. Calc is pretty easy despite what a lot of people will tell you.</p>
<p>Well, I took AB and BC in the same year, and I did fine. So I guess it’s manageble.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any specific ideas of how to convince my guidance counselor to let me take the BC class without taking the AB class first?</p>
<p>BC is not very hard and you can definitely do it well. I only took about 12 BC lessons and spent 2 days reviewing it before the test and I could solve most of the questions on the test, and I’m sure I can get a 5.</p>
