Hi! I will be a Liberal Arts freshman in the fall, and I am wondering if there is a benefit to taking the AP Calculus AB exam over the Math I SAT Subject Test in regards to credits received. I took a course equivalent to Calculus AB, but I don’t think I’m prepared enough to do well on the AP exam. Since either test would give me enough math credits to fulfill the core requirements, would there be any downside to taking the SAT Subject Test (which tests precalculus, something I am confident in) instead of the AP one? My main concern is that perhaps some natural science courses (which are also part of the core requirements) may require calculus as a prerequisite. I’m hoping that someone can offer some insight! Thanks in advance.
