<p>This is a case by case thing, every student must make the choice based on his/her own strength in the subject. I have to admit that my own inclination was that my freshman should be wary of taking credit for Calc AB & BC by stepping into the middle of university level calculus. I would have advised him to start from the beginning at SLO. He elected to take the chance and jumped into the third quarter and finished the 4 course series at SLO doing very well. His high school has the good fortune to have an excellent Calc instructor who also teaches the subject at our local Cal State. We made sure to let the HS math teacher know how well he had prepared our student and thank him for all of his efforts on our behalf.</p>
