<p>Why? Seems like this decision should be made after seeing the AP test score and reviewing the old final exams of the calculus courses at the college she matriculates to, not set in stone before then.</p>

Of course, skipping should only be done if the student knows the material well, but many do come in knowing the material well.</p>
