What route should I take?

I’m going to be a freshmen at A&M majoring in Electrical Engineering, I will also be a member of the Corps of Cadets. This year, I took AP Physics C: Mechanics and the AP Calculus AB class, however I self studied some of the BC material and decided to take the BC test instead, I heard it would claim credit for Math 151 and 152.

My dilemma now is that I’m not sure what my scores will be like, and I have no desire of taking Math 151 or Mechanics freshmen year because I know much about that material, and with the AP scores coming out so late, I don’t want to waste time to see what I got when there are other options I can do in the summer.

So Plan 1: take CLEP for calculus 1 credit and then take Calc 2 at a Community College.

Or

Plan 2: take Calculus 1 and take Calc 2 at the uni.

Since I want to become an electrical enigineer, If I were to take electricity and optics first semester, would Cal 3 be more beneficial to take with that class?
