Does taking Calc BC and Physics B at the same time help?

I actually found Calculus BC topics/concepts to be very helpful in Physics B. Calculus probably helped me the most in analyzing distance, velocity, and acceleration graphs (because of the calculus-based relationships between the three). Doing calculus at the same time helped me gain a better understanding of mechanics in general (and distance/velocity/acceleration especially), and I even used Calculus (I forget which concept) on a MC question during the AP exam (don’t ask how I remember).
