<p>just found out i got a 5 on BC...but idk wat math to take</p>
<p>im def gonna major in finance and maybe minor in math........but should i take calc 2 again, or linear algebra or calc 3?</p>
<p>i like math and im pretty good at it, just wondering what you guys are gonna do</p>
<p>last thing…we get credit for ap world history?</p>
<p>Are you in Stern?</p>
<p>yes im in stern</p>
<p>I got 4’s on both the Calc AB and BC exams. I started off with Calc II, and in retrospect, it was a good choice - I didn’t have a strong enough background in calculus to go straight into Calc III.</p>
<p>Definitely Calc II. It is better not to overload yourself and kind of “enjoy” freshmen year. Going into Calc III, Linear Algebra ( Not as a minor probably??), and Multi, it gets incredibly difficult, and how well you do depends on how well you grasp the earlier concepts learned in Calc I and II. ( AB and BC in retrospect, and you can trust me, my father made me self study calculus I and II in 6th grade :P)</p>
<p>Calc 2 for sure! I got a 5 on BC Calculus in high school and calc 2 at nyu was still tough.</p>
<p>its been a while since my original post and ive changed a few things and got the 5s but was wondering if i should take calc 1 since it would obviously just boost my grade…y are u taking calc 2 as opposed to calc 1?</p>
<p>i got a 5 on BC calc and i took calc 2 freshman year because i thought it’d be an easy A and i’d know everything already. i was really rusty and ended up having to work twice as hard just because my professor was really unclear about a lot of material. personally i think it was a bad decision because it was a really difficult class and most of the professors aren’t very good at teaching (many don’t speak much english). i’ve also heard that calc 2 is more difficult than both calc 1 and calc 3. i would say if you’re confident about the material you learned for the ap test, take the placement test and go for calc 3.</p>
<p>also, if you get BC Calc AP credit and you take calc 2 you lose the calc 2 credit from the AP scores. it doesn’t make much of a difference i don’t think but i was surprised to look on my transcript and find it say “loss of credit” where i had AP credit for calc 2 because i repeated the class.</p>
<p>Calc 2 is pretty hard. Calc 3 is actually easier. Calc 3 is calc 1 with an extra variable, “z”. take calc 3 or calc 1.</p>
