In our school district there are three tracks that have Trig/Calc A then Calc BC over two years. In our district you can have Calc BC as early as sophomore year. In our district I believe you can only take Calc AB senior year. I could be wrong but I don't see anywhere about taking BC without A.
I'm confused you write 'there are three tracks that have Trig/Calc A then Calc BC over two years'. This doesn't sounds right? Three tracks include Calc BC?
My guess is Trig/Calc A is equivilant what I'd call a Pre-Calculus class. So you take this and THEN a 2 year Calculus sequence?
If Calc BC is a two year sequence, you only take the AP Test at the end of the second year, right? My district essentially does this with AP Literature. It's really two classes, Honors American Lit and then AP English Lit with the AP test taken at the end of two years.
The math classes in my district in the same tracks bleed into each other. The Honors Pre-Calculus class that leads to BC Calc covers a fair amount of beginning Calculus for example, giving the kids a bit less to cover over the school year before the AP TEST. This can be very confusing since schools label their classes differently.
