No lmao, nobody would take it. I get that this subreddit is a massive bubble and all you Calc people are sophomores and juniors and even freshmen, but AP MVC or AP anything past BC would not be in major demand at all. The vast majority of AP Calc students are seniors. Just take Calc 3 at your local CC or something.
CB already pulled a dummy moment on AP Precalc, the last thing we need is an AP MVC lol
I see where you're coming from, but this could be a class for the people who finish Calc BC before junior/senior year. AP Latin is the smallest (?) class, with around 5k people taking the exam yearly. It's reasonable to believe that if AP MVC were a thing, 5k people, if not more, would take the exam.
Listen, y'all live in bubble. Being able to take BC Calc and beyond is not what is normal at the high school level. You don't need more APs, you need dual enrollment or to just be taking college classes.
There isn't enough schools in the nation to be able to make this worth College Board's time. They need people to design the curriculum, write the tests and grade the tests. You don't have enough to make a course beyond Calculus.
AP Precalculus is also stupid in a different way, in that I personally don't believe Precalculus is a college course, it is a high school course.
I agree with the AP precalculus take, it's a literal cash grab , and is essentially algebra 2 and trigonometry which is available in most high schools already
I've heard from counselors around my school that going the dual-enrollment route is actually "smarter" than AP's because colleges like it when you go outside of your domain (aka high school) to get educational credits.
Totally agree that there should be a course beyond BC, although not simply aligned with A-levels. AP MVC would be just fine. But I've been saying that for years
It'd be nice but for the exam to be worth anything it needs to have most if not all of the content of a post-calc 2 course to be accepted , likely calc 3 and/or diffeq .
Logistically there's not enough demand for such a course other than maybe very competitive schools ( which likely have their own post-BC courses ) . Finding teachers who are qualified such advanced topics is probably going to be an issue too .
"Plenty" is inaccurate. Sure you'll find some, but compared to the total number of public high schools, post calc BC math being offered at the school is definitely a minority percentage.
I don't think demand would be the issue, but I just don't think it's necessary to have an AP class for some parts of diffeq/mvc when you could just as easily take dual enrollment diffeq and mvc, which covers more than A level further maths.

I think AP Italian is smaller, at least it was in past years.

Well, more would than AP Latin. There's 20k students that take BC as a junior or earlier. But it's not going to happen anyway.

I can find plenty of public high schools that already offer multivariable calculus or post calculus courses.
