<p>My school has recently allowed us to take a diagnostic test over the summer to decide whether or not we can skip Calculus AB and go on to BC. The test is in August, so I am currently deciding whether or not to choose this option. What are your opinions?</p>
<p>Definitely take the diagnostic test to skip to BC.</p>
<p>Take the test…</p>
<p>You don’t “skip” AB, the AB material is still all covered in BC.</p>
<p>Yeah, ^Pancaked is right. But yes, take the test anyways.</p>
<p>Take the test for sure. Try to get placed i BC, as it does cover Calc A and isn’t that much more difficult than AB in terms of the material.</p>
<p>Calc B is the hardest to me–Calc C isn’t a big deal.</p>
<p>^ What? 10char</p>
<p>^
Don’t you love when people think the way their school teaches Calculus is the same as every other school?</p>
<p>^Who is thinking that?</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies guys, I’ll attempt the diagnostic. Shouldn’t be too hard.</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t you take it? o.0</p>
<p>Well I don’t really like the people in BC and people in AB have been in my class for years, so that sort of impacted my decision.</p>
<p>Calc CD is way harder than BC though, but atleast you don’t have to take that stupid exam at the end of the year.</p>
<p>^*** is Calc CD?</p>
<p>You don’t even need most of the stuff in CD for higher level courses. I’d skip CD and go right to Calc DE; the useful stuff from CD+ new things that will make Calc F muuuuch easier.</p>
<p>Yeah but the stuff in calc CD is covered on the SAT subject test for math IV, and God forbid you don’t get an 800 on that…</p>
<p>Solution, don’t take Math IV, Take MathIII:C and call it a day. Adcoms say that is by far the most important SATII anyway.</p>
<p>Calc AB average grades are A and B
Calc BC average grades are B and C</p>
<p>Jk I had to post that. 
BC is easy though, no sweat… Until the Taylor Series section, then you need to study hardcore</p>
<p>800 on the MathIV is only 60%tile, and I think Calc DE will suffice for an 800.</p>
<p>lmao at all the comments with the different Calcs.</p>
<p>OP: I would take the exam.</p>
