Is it wise to take both the AP Caclulus BC test and the AP Calculus AB test at the same time? For example, not take the AP Calculus AB class, but still take the test while taking the BC Calc class and taking the test? Does this prove to colleges that you know everything in AB and BC? Would you just recommend taking the BC test if you already know everything in the AB but haven’t taken the actual AP CAlculus AB test? Would colleges naturally assume if you get a 5 on the BC Calc test, you would be good enough to get a 5 on the AP Calc AB Test also? I know their is an AB subscore portion on the BC calc test but would it still be necessary to take the AP Calc AB test?
