To load up on spring term classes before academy or not?

[VAcadetmom]

Oh, that makes sense. My son took AP AB Calc last year as a Junior and is in AP BC Calc this year. I have heard actual college course are way harder though, esp at an Academy. Hopefully he’s prepared. Thanks for all your info.

This is exactly what my cadet did. He was able to validate out of calculus (can't remember exactly how many classes) and was a peer tutor for calculus his 4/c year. He's enjoyed having some options to take more "fun" classes and only needed to take 15 credits this spring (he's a 1/c) - he's an engineering major.
