We had similar concerns. My son is planning to major in math in college, and is taking AB his senior year. There are only four kids who are taking BC, and they had to get into this track in 10th grade. My son had a rough year with his Algebra II teacher and didn’t make the cut. We were concerned that he would be at a disadvantage, but his precalculus teacher said that he should get the strongest math foundation possible before college. Our son is finding AB very easy in terms of content, as he already did all of the work for it on his own last year. However, he said that it’s helping him fine tune and reinforce concepts and he’s glad he didn’t push to jump ahead to BC this year.
