What should I do about the Calc BC test

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>I took Calc I at a community college over the soph. summer. I am now a junior and next year I will take the Calc BC test. Should I take Calc II at the community college (during fall of senior year) alone or also take Calc AB in school as well since the BC test has AB material on it. Although I learned much of the AB material, except Reimann Sums and Areas of revolutions (which covered Calc II at CC). The AP Calc questions also seem harder then the ones i had in the Calc I? </p>

<ul>
<li><p>If I take Calc AB Ill have a really really hard senior schedule (block scheduling) although I am looking to go to really good colleges (JHU, Columbia, or Brown)
1st term------------2nd term</p>

<pre><code> Eng AP-------------Theology (mandatory)
Calc AB (no BC)----Calc AB
Physics AP-C------ Physics AP-C
Chem AP-----------Chem AP

<p>First, if you already know most of the Calc AB stuff, the class isn't going to be hard.</p>

<p>Second, Riemann Sums and Areas of Revolution (Volumes?) are very easy. If you're smart enough to take calculus sophomore summer, you're smart enough to learn those in a day.</p>

<p>Only thing I'd be concerned about is how well you remember stuff you learned sophomore summer.</p>

<p>Well no matter what I am going to look over the Calc I stuff (got the textbook and will get a AP prep book) but really what I am asking is would Calc AB be a waste of my time or be beneficial? If I did not take Calc AB at school I would probably have two honors classes in those places (and Calc II at the CC)</p>

<p>Well, if calc AB is going to be easy because you know the material, then it will make your year easier. It's always helpful to go over the material.</p>
