Should I enter Multivariable Calculus as an AP/IB class on CV's Chancing Calculator?Answered
I took Algebra II Honors my freshman year and earned a 99%, Precalculus Honors my sophomore year and earned a 97%, and Calculus BC junior year. Unfortunately, due to extenuating circumstances (which my Guidance Counselor will explain in my application and I will possibly include in my personal essay), I missed a ridiculous amount of school junior year and had to drop nearly all my classes--including Calculus BC. Thankfully, my situation improved. I am self-studying BC this summer and should be able to get back on track academically this year. I plan on taking my school's Multivariable Calculus course and aiming for a 95% or higher. For greater context, the Multivariable Calculus class has a locally designed curriculum; it is not accredited by CollegeBoard or the IB program. However, it is what most students take after Calculus BC in my district, and it is "equivalent to Calculus III in some schools of higher education" (cited from my school's Program of Studies). I will also take the AP Calculus BC Exam at the end of this school year to earn a 4 or 5 (hopefully a 5) and receive college credit or advanced standing.

The Calculus of functions in Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems as well as vector calculus are part of the program.
Continuation: Students will use computer and calculator technology to enhance their experience. Additional advanced topics may be uncovered based on student interest and time available.
