AP Calculus AB vs BC
AP Calculus BC = AP Calculus AB + additional college-level calculus topics
AP Calculus BC covers all AP Calculus AB material—and then goes further.
Planning by Intended Major
Start with the target course for 11th grade
After understanding the difference between AP Calculus AB and BC, the next step is to decide:
- - Which math course to take in 11th grade
- - Which course to continue with in 12th grade
- - How to build the course sequence leading up to that point
We recommend planning backward from 11th grade based on a student’s academic goals, intended major, and long-term pathway.
STEM Majors & Quantitative Non-STEM Majors
Recommended: Complete AP Calculus BC in 11th grade
Non-Quantitative / Less Math-Intensive Majors
Recommended: Complete AP Calculus AB in 11th grade
