Is the AP Calc Exam a True Predictor of College Readiness?

[Feldoh]

i teach at a state school, and have almost never had a student with credit for AP who should have accepted college credit for calc.

instead the best of them should have retaken beginning calc, but from an honor professor in an honors section, the hardest one they can manage.

Yeah that's why I'm taking/took the AP tests in Calc BC and Physics C. Hopefully I can get into the honors classes (They're invitation only so having a 5 on the AP test is a good way to be invited)
