Calculus BC as a junior... what next?

So pretty much the calculus class my class offers goes beyond the scope of calculus AB which in itself goes beyond Calculus I. My math teacher told me I only need to look over 2 chapters to be ready for the BC test so I figured I might as well do it since I'm pretty good at math. The question would be what next? My counsler seems to not know what's next she mentioned I might take Calculus for Engineers 1 and 2 online but that seems really redundant to me. So what are my options?

AP Statistics? More advanced classes at a local community college?

I'd suggest a multi-variable calculus course at your local college. Stats is good, if you haven't already taken it, but math people will tell you stats isn't "real" math sometimes. (I've heard my own D say this).

Good luck.

Take Multivariable Calculus. AP Stats if you want an easier class.

Calculus BC is usually equivalent to a year of freshman calculus in college. The usual follow-on courses, which should be available in your local community college, are:

* multivariable calculus
* linear algebra
* differential equations

Note that linear algebra and differential equations are often combined into one course, so if they are offered separately at your local community college, take both if you decide to take either, so that you won't have to partially repeat it to get the rest of the course.

Other possibilities (these are all typically semester-long courses, except for AP statistics in high school):

* AP statistics in high school or non-calculus-based statistics at a community college (often not worth subject credit for majors that also require calculus)
* calculus-based statistics at a community college (more likely to be given subject credit, but rarely offered at community colleges)
* discrete math at a community college (often recommended or required for computer science majors)
