<p>I will admit that is an option I hadn’t thought of, and it’s a good gauge if it’s available. However, unless you slam dunk the test with an A, I would say it’s a warning sign that you might want to repeat it. </p>
<p>As I said, that’s the rule for most normal kids, not the kind of kid who takes DiffEq and OrgChem is HS. The average kid who takes Calc BC should not opt out of the first two Calc classes in an engineering sequence, one makes perfect sense, if you can nail the final. Getting out on English and History makes much more sense, if only for the reason of not having to take 5 classes, which I can tell you is a killer.</p>
<p>I believe there was another thread this morning that was similar and mentioned that some tests for some schools are available online. Searching for that would be worthwhile.</p>
