This author does not know what they are talking about. I have taken three AP classes and all three have been very similar to their college equivalent.
If you are reading this and are still in High School I recommend taking as many AP classes as you can. It looks great on your transcript and you can either validate college classes or get the easy A.

- mjn 14y agoI suppose it depends on how the school formulates its intro calc class, but I took the Calc AP exam and got a 5, and then took intro calc in college because my school didn't accept AP credit. And it's a good thing I did, because a good portion of the material was never covered in AP Calc, despite the college version only being a half-semester course. The main things new to me in college were developing calculus on a rigorous mathematical foundation, and the extension to multivariable calculus (curriculum: http://www.math.hmc.edu/math30G-02/lectures.html http://www.math.hmc.edu/math30G-02/lectures.html).
