@aspiringsurgeon3 it’s not so much the grades, but the lower final and psat math scores that are red flags. It may be better to take the time and understand the material well enough to complete it under time constraints. AB to BC allows you time to do that. There are schools that don’t allow students to take BC without AB first, so it’s not uncommon and still considered rigorous. Yes, some do go straight to BC, but for example in our district BC is a one semester long course and very fast paced. Unless you’re up for the quick pace with little instruction and a lot of self guidance, they recommend the AB to BC path. We dont know you or how quickly you process and work through material, but based on the limited info, it sounds like AB to BC may be the better path for you.
