I rather doubt that I could pass it. I attended a very selective liberal arts college and graduated with an A- average, FWIW, and I tested as gifted. I have never taken calculus, though, and had to work pretty hard to complete trig (I did get a B+, I think?) in high school.

Let standardized test scores be your guide smile.

Students who scored between 61 and 65 on the PSAT math (multiply by 10 to get equivalent SAT math scores) had a 77% chance of scoring a 3 or higher (a passing score) on the AP Calculus AB exam, according to AP Potential http://www.collegeboard.com/counselors/app/expectancy.html?calcab . As a graduate of a "selective liberal arts college" you likely had a math SAT of 610 or higher.
