<p>ok so, i’m really interested in math and so i’ve been trying to get to higher levels of math in school. In the summer before freshman year, i took a geometry class over the summer. So as a freshman i was in the sophmore honors math class. </p>
<p>now this year, im a sophmore in precalc and I’m self studying ap calc ab even though it is offered at my school. I’ve gotten pretty far (just starting integrals). </p>
<p>I’ve heard that colleges don’t like it when you self study for an ap offered at your school, but do you think my case is an exception? Because like I said, i really really like math and I don’t find my schools math class’s challenging enough.</p>
<p>I say you should go right ahead, they just don’t want people to self-study just because they know they won’t get as easy of an A as they want if they take the actual AP.</p>
<p>you are right on track for calc ab, we started integrals right before december break. (i know this wasn’t the purpose of the thread, but i just wanted to let you know =D)</p>
<p>you should be fine. as long as you do well on the exam!</p>
<p>Kind of off-topic, but if you’re interested in math, wouldn’t it be better to put in the time working on USAMTS problems, studying for AMC-10 and AMC-12 tests, and working on the MathCamp, HCSSiM, and AwesomeMath entrance tests?</p>
<p>What do you plan on doing next school year in math?</p>
<p>yeah i’m planning on taking the AMC 10 this year and the AMC 12 next year.
I’m interested in math, but i don’t have any intentions of getting a math major in college. I’m planning on going into the med field. </p>
<p>I’m planning on taking Calc 2 next year.</p>
<p>Is Calc 2 essentially AP Calc BC?</p>
<p>If so, you might just wait and only take the BC exam. You’ll get AB subscores on it…</p>
<p>Or do you need the AP scores to get you into Calc 2 next year?</p>
<p>I was planning on taking Calc 2 at the University of MN.
So i will need the AP Calc Ab scores.</p>
