<p>I understand the first statement, not so much the first, but I believe I understand what you are saying.</p>
<p>In the curriculum guide at my school, we must take AP Calculus AB before BC. However, I will double check with my guidance counselor to make sure this is correct. Online, Calculus BC only requires Precalculus. Can AP Calculus AB be thought of as the introductory to calculus? If BC is considered AB plus a few more topics, then why is AB even offered? What does the A, B, and C mean in Calculus AB and BC? How do colleges view a student who has taken both AB and BC? What if I took AB and then self-studied BC, how would they view that?</p>
<p>Also, is doubling on math (AP Stats and AP Calc AB) difficult?</p>
