Tale AP Calculus BC without AP Calculus AB?

BC is like 2/3 AB with a few things added on, like parametric/polar equations, integration by parts, and taylor series. Definitely find out if your school’s BC class reviews AB material and base your decision off that. Taking AB and then BC the next yr if BC reviews AB material is a waste of time. But definitely do not take calc w/o precalc. Nothing like a solid precalculus background will prepare you for calculus.
