<p>So, you probably know this, but the first half of BC reviews everything in AB (much faster) and then moves on to new topics. Theoretically, yes, you could skip AB with the intention of just learning it all in BC. However, I personally would have found it difficult to grasp all the concepts without getting a good calc background in AB. That’s just me though, I think some people (maybe you?) would be fine in BC right off the bat. </p>
<p>Also, I wouldn’t say that taking AB is “slacking off” - it’s still an AP math class, so no worries there! And if it makes you feel better, a friend of mine took AB last year as a senior (no BC for him!) and is going to Dartmouth in the fall. :)</p>
