Algebra II to AP Calculus BC?

Ha, I’m in a similar situation right now. I’m a freshman in Precalculus Pre-AP, and I’ve studied the whole year for Calculus by myself. Right now the principle is giving me the bullcrap that I can’t skip Calculus 1. I’m fighting for the right to do such thing, because it has been done before by a student who got a 5 on the AB AP exam.

And actually, I’m doing the BC exam, because next thing I knew I was already leaking BC material into my brain by January. So I decided to level up. But the least I want is to take Calculus 2, and they won’t let me, which is pretty unfair. I talked to the student and he said that they also denied it to him before he did the test but… I want to put a stop to the lies.

However you’re dealing with your math classes, hope it all goes well.

By the way, Pre-calculus isn’t exactly useless, it’s more Algebra and trig as well as concepts critical to calculus not covered in Algebra 2. It can be skipped, but you’ll need the algebraic and arithmetic practice.
