<p>I think it also depends on your school’s curriculum and grading scale for that particular class … for example, my school’s AP calc class is graded on a very generous curve, which was part of what motivated me to take it even though I’m not, historically speaking, the best in the world at math. Since my school doesn’t have regular calculus (just AP), and AP stats wasn’t being offered this year, I also didn’t really have any other option which would continue to challenge me academically.</p>
