Wise to take AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC Test at the same time?

As to taking AB course and test one year and BC course and test the next, there are actually some high schools that divide their courses that way, requiring you to first take an AB course before you can take BC (what they are basically doing is turning a one year BC course into two years). And at others you can possibly do it but that will depend on the high school’s own rules as to what you can take.

The AB subscore of the BC test does not count towards the AP awards. To date, I have yet to figure out how having the AP award means anything extra for anything – having the scores to submit to the college is all that counts.
