I'm in the beginning stages of Calculus (i.e. 1 week into it). Should i bother learning as much calculus as i can between now and the start of next year, or not? If i end up having to take calc BC anyways, it would mean being bored for essentially the next year of math...

can you test out of a class?

Always good to bother, even if you are bored. You can beg the teacher to give you different work, that works sometimes. And at least you'll ace your tests with minimal effort.
 
You can try calculus I, or II if you will be that bored with calculus BC
