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

well because there is a signficant overlap in terms of questions for the AB and BC exams, one cannot take the AB and BC tests the same year. at many schools calc bc is just a review of calc ab with a few added topics like infinite series and polar/parametric eqns so i guess if one took calc bc and did well it would be assumed that he/she has a mastery of calc ab material. however at other schools calc bc starts off with a quick review of ab material and then the bc topics and then other stuff like multivariable/vector calc so i guess you really should ask either former students from your school or your teachers.
