AP Calculus?

Thank you so much for your response

My math teacher said that most students who take precalculus and then don’t take any type of calculus for a year or two forget everything when they take AP calculus senior year. That would be the only reason as to why I would probably take AP calculus first. Since you are a AP calc student, do you think that the class is hard? I’ve heard mixed things from everyone that I’ve talked to.
