Great video! I do have to ask as a parent of a rising HS junior in the decision process for fall, how do competitive universities view taking AB vs BC ? Background: my daughter wants to pursue a STEM major and is also involved in sports. I am blessed to be an engineer and data scientist by trade so I could assist her with the faster pace of BC but don't want to have my daughter overloaded in the BC course given she will have other Honors/AP courses. BLUF: Just want to make sure it does not put her at a disadvantage by taking AB over BC as a junior and then taking BC or AP Stats as a senior. She is considering COMPSCI which leans more heavily on LINEAR ALGEBRA, CALC III, DISCRETE Math, PROB/STATS, and NUMBER THEORY so I am hoping taking AB vs BC is not seen as being less rigorous given your calculus background is not as relevant as it would be for EE, ME, CE, Physics, Applied Math, and COMPENGR. @Transizion

@Jukku, thank you for the detailed and thoughtful response. Excellent! Will pass along to my daughter!!! BZ!!

[@jasonpatel13]

Many students take AP Calc AB in their sophomore or junior year followed by AP Calc BC or AP Stats in a subsequent year. This is generally a good way to balance a workload that includes multiple AP classes. I also agree with Jukku's excellent response. Unless your daughter is interested in pursuing engineering, or another field that heavily relies on calculus, taking AB is typically fine.

How many hours of preparation required for calculas BC. To score 5, how much percentage of raw score required.🙏

[@arnavpawar4021]

error in the video, You can take both exams during the same year, you just have to schedule one during the late testing window as with all AP exams

[@jasonpatel13]

Thanks for the correction!

The video has an error. When you were discussing BC the title said Choosing Calculus AB only

[@k1llersw0rd80]

I have had a 97 for most of the year in precal honors. Even then, I am still unsure if I am good enough for BC. I am planning on engineering though, so calc bc might be better. I am not sure if I will handle the quickness of bc though.

[@jasonpatel13]

BC is quick. But college won't be slower, particularly if you're thinking about pursuing engineering.

[@k1llersw0rd80]

@@jasonpatel13 so I should just try bc then? I’m also going to be doing ap physics 2 I’m hoping I’m not overwhelmed.

[@jasonpatel13]

If those are your only two APs, you should be okay. However, if you're taking a lot of other heavy-hitting APs, you might want to reconsider.

All your videos are very helpful. Thanks.

[@jasonpatel13]

Yay, thank you. Tell your friends about us!

[@zweiwing4435]

If it is possible can not taking Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, and Trigonometry. And take Pre-Calculus at the beginning? I noticed that some curriculum have as Physic based of Algebra or Calculus Based?

[@totallynelson]

Those classes build your foundation for calculus

[@jasonpatel13]

You'll need to know the material in Algebra 1 and 2 if you want to do well in pre-calculus. Some trigonometry is covered in pre-calculus, so you might not need it. You will need to take geometry prior to taking calculus. Most schools will let you take calculus at the same time as you're taking a calculus-based physics class. :) I hope that helps!

I tutor math. My advice is to not take BC calculus unless you are a serious student and good in math. No need to torture yourself otherwise.

[@jasonpatel13]

I agree. But I would also add that BC does look better if you're applying to STEM heavy school or math-related major, such as CalTech or computer science.
