<p>How do colleges view classes that are taken after AP/IB programs? For example, my school offers multivariable Calc after Calc BC, but its not technically an AP course. When looking at rigor, will colleges recognize that its still supposed to be a hard class?</p>
<p>Yes, especially if you’ve taken say BC sophomore year so multivariable is the next logical course to take, even though it’s not AP.</p>
<p>The label “AP” just means that it’s supposed to prepare you for the respective AP test. Colleges will definitely recognize college classes as harder classes than Calc BC.</p>
<p>Ah okay thanks!</p>
<p>Getting subject credit in college (so you won’t have to wastefully repeat it if the course is a “complete” college-equivalent course in the subject) may be more of a hassle if something like multivariable calculus is a high school course, rather than a college or dual enrollment course.</p>
