Does this carry the same prestige as a National AP scholar award?

AP Calc BC is considered one of the easier APs (sine around 40% who take the test get)



You are wrong. Very wrong. The BC test taking pool is self selecting so that a majority of the students who elect to take it are very confident in their calculus abilities. Most students stay away from calculus, and the math-averse high achieving students force themselves to take AB. It’s only the math students who really like math that take BC [for the most part], and that’s why it has a higher passing rate.

80%+ of AP Chinese takers get a 5. Are you suggesting that it’s the easiest AP class?
