I took Calc AB in 11th Grade and got a 5 on the AP, but I am retaking Calc I because: A) I do not remember a lot of it after almost two years and it is the basis of Calc II/III and B) The curriculum is laid out that way and I plan on graduating in four years anyway.

I could have replaced band with Calc BC senior year and have started at Calc III like some people that I know, but I decided not to and honestly do not care that they are starting there and I am not since in the end it will not matter at all.

And at the University of Maryland’s orientation, the majority of engineering students were taking Calc I, even those with AP scores that placed them in Calc II (maybe for the GPA? I did not ask.)
