My situation: took Calc AB as one year course as sophomore, BC the following year as a one year course. The first semester of BC was all direct review of AB (I’m assuming your sons course would not have this as it is only a one semester BC class). Even when we began on the new BC topics, many of them were simply using past AB topics and applying them to a new scenario. Personally, I didn’t think either class was very difficult, and looking back on it, I wish I would have taken only BC. Im not really familiar with the AoPS book, but your son seems to already have a strong foundation for calculus so taking AB would probably bore him to death.
