Unless you plan on majoring in math or doing math-intensive work, you should try to take Math SL - or ask your school if you can switch to Sl after this year.
It’s almost impossible to get a 7 and the level is far above anything in AP, but you’ll still only get the same credit for AP Calc BC.
In my opinion, this class should be reserved to math nerds, people with a real talent, aptitude, and interest in pure math. It’s not a “regular” math class. It’s good prep if you’re interested in the accelerated math programs at HarveyMudd or Northwestern but otherwise, if you’re aiming, say, for a Physics or Engineering major, pick Match SL and take the AP Calc exam.
