help out a confused canadian for cambridge

Hello! I'm currently a grade 11 student in Canada (Ontario) looking to apply to Cambridge land economy. I've taken AP Human Geography in 8th grade, AP Microeconomics in 9th and AP Macroeconomics in 10th, but since Cambridge only looks at APs taken within the last 2 years, would it be worth it for me to retake these exams so that they fit into that window? I'm planning on taking AP French, AP Seminar and AP Calculus AB this year, AP Statistics and AP Research in grade 12, and self-study AP Comparative Government and AP Environmental Science either this year or the next. How would I get a predicted AP score to put into UCAS? Additionally, since math is not exactly my strong suit, how much of a disadvantage would I be in taking Calculus AB instead of BC?

Your best bet is to email the college(s) you're interested in and just asking them directly. It may be worth your retaking them but if you have all of those others then you may not need to. There's no harm in asking. Links are on this page: https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/colleges/college-contacts

Regarding Calculus AB instead of BC, I think(?) it may be okay for Land Economy as a strong preference for BC is only mentioned for those courses that require Further Maths. Again, your best bet is to just ask directly.

Regarding putting predicted grades into UCAS, you just leave it as pending. Predicted grades go into your reference, which is written by your teachers.
