<p>AB and BC are usually not taken in succession. BC covers everything in AB, and is generally taken by stronger math students who can learn faster.</p>
<p>If you’re thinking of taking BC after having already taken AB simply for purposes of having your schedule look impressive, then it’s not worth it. Just pick a different class (make sure you keep a math class on your schedule). If you’re looking to go into a math-heavy field, it doesn’t make sense to try to take BC at this point for the sake of getting credit because BC does not prepare you like a college calculus course. You’re best advised to take calculus again in college so that you have the skills to do math-intense work in your major.</p>
<p>Goldowl’s advice does not make sense because the BC exam has a lot of material that is not covered in AB. Taking the BC exam without having learned the BC material is not wise.</p>
