AP classes truly equal to college classes?

thanks GK, would anyone also happen to know the breakdown of calc in a quarter system? like is it calc A(one quarter class), then calc B, then calc C? or would there be overlaps?

my other question is: even though APs are easier than college courses, would the best prep for college (premed especially) be to take APs that are “equivalents” of my future early college courses?

for example: i wouldn’t need physics C, but would take physics B b/c my physics class in college would only need to be alg-based
or in general load up senior yr (APchem, phys, BC calc) b/c they’re supposedly equal to what i’m going to take?

thanks for any insight, i know my post is lengthy
