I recently took Calc AB and have signed up for Calc for Life and Social sciences.
Can someone tell what to expect in my new class and if AB is/was an appropriate prep. class?

Thanks.

Calculus for Life and Social Sciences will probably be a less rigorous presentation of calculus than you received in the Calc AB course. If the Calc BC course is available I would advise that you take that instead.
 
Are you moving on to college? If so, then calculus II would be a good fit.
 
Ah, okay. The class I'm taking has transferable units so that's why I'm taking it. And yes, I just finished high school and am taking a couple of classes at the community college.

I was a bit unsure of my calc skills so hopefully this class will cement the knowledge in my brain better.

Thanks for the replies.
 
Did you pass your calculus AB class and get college credit for it? If so, taking the Calculus for Life and Social Sciences might be a little too repetitive, unless you're extremely unsure of your calculus skills.
 
I passed with a B, but i didn't take the AP exams so no college credits.
