AP CALC BC

DD, who is a senior, was recommended for AP Calc BC, after getting an A+ in Honors Algebra 1&2, Honors Geometry, and Honors PreCalc. I strongly encouraged her to take AB this year and she is so glad she didn’t take BC as she had originally planned to do.

In fact, a few weeks into the school year, she was ready to drop AB because she was really struggling. She has been studying for hours every night and going for extra help from the teacher regularly after school and is barely maintaining a low A. She is so glad she didn’t take BC this year.

There is something wrong at the school when A+ students in prerequisite honors math courses struggle with calculus AB or BC.
