Both Calculus' or Calc and Stats?

MYOS1634:

To answer your first question: Based on what you say though, the best path would be precalculus-> calculus AB → calculus BC.

If AP calculus BC starts from precalculus, why would this be better than:

precalculus → AP calculus BC → one or more of the following based on availability at the time:

math course(s) at local college (linear algebra, differential equations, multivariable calculus, discrete math, calculus-based statistics, etc.)

AP statistics

AP CS (either, but principles is probably more generally useful from a knowledge standpoint)

physics (at whichever level is desired)

?

Of course, if AP calculus BC starts from the end of AP calculus AB, then there is no real choice other than to take AP calculus AB before AP calculus BC.
