<p>Calculus BC will be like a typical one year university freshman calculus course.</p>
<p>Calculus AB will be like a slower paced version covering about half of a typical one year university freshman calculus course.</p>
<p>Students who are good at math should be able to handle BC.</p>
<p>Students who take AB will have to take second semester freshman calculus at university / BC pace after they enter university. Some students find that to be a shock after the slow pace of AB.</p>
