Conversely, I took calculus in high school, didn't understand what the heck was going on with most of the concepts, got a 5 on the AP test and an A in the class, and forgot all the material immediately.

Then, years later, I took calculus in college and understood everything.

So, YMMV on how good an idea it is.
