<p>CB wanted to make some money?
What happend, usually in any ap that involves a 2 part course that increases in difficulty, CB doesnt let u take it in 1 year (calc Ab and BC and Physics B and Physics C)
Why did Com. Sci change?</p>

<p>Also dont include econ in this answer or government they dont generally built on previous knowledge there separate courses not like a level type of thing where one is just harder and includes the other exams stuff (like in calc BC)</p>

<p>Maybe english lit and language (kinda part 1 and 2) but people have tooken those in the same year so it’s not that much of build up in those 2 exams (even though lang. is way harder)</p>

<p>Calc AB/BC is taken in one year at all the schools around here.</p>

<p>Well, I think it’s mostly due to the fact that most colleges give the same credits for taking AB as A.</p>

<p>Didnotfaillife: You cannot take the calc AB and BC exams in one year. The school you go to has absolutely no say in the matter because it’s the CollegeBoard’s decision.</p>

<p>Ah, I thought brainless was talking about the classes, not the exams themselves. What I meant was that we take the AB/BC class in one year. But, we only take the BC exam, I think.</p>

<p>Actually, glucose, many top colleges only give credit for AB. And even if they gave the same credit for both, there would still be absolutely no point to taking both exams. Everything on A is on AB. If you took both tests, a college would most likely not give you credit twice. And a 5 on AB would be no less impressive than a 5 on both tests.</p>

<p>good info just wondering what colleges are u talking about</p>

<p>Looking it up, I see that credit given varies widely among top colleges, but Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, and Chicago are among those schools that only recognize AB.</p>
