Default To skip Calc II or not

Hi, I'll be a freshman at Villanova in the fall. As of now my major is Mech. Engineering. I took Calc AB senior year and got a 5 on the AP exam, so I have the option of placing out of the first two semesters worth of calc.

The description for Calc II is :

"Integration (indefinite, definite), applications of integration (area, volume, applications to physics and economics, etc.), methods of integration, approximate integration (trapezoidal and Simpson's rules), improper integrals, differential equations, infinite sequences and series. Continued use of a computer algebra system."

We only went up to chapter 6 or so in the book, so we covered everything described except infinite sequences and series (at least I'm pretty sure we didn't). Is that basically everything that is covered in BC? I don't want to have to go over everything about the intergral or not, but I also don't want to completely skip over the whole infinite series and sequences thing. What do you think I should do?

fwiw, this is the description of calc 3 :

Description: Parametric equations; polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates; vectors and the geometry of space; vector functions (derivatives, integrals, curvature, etc.); partial derivatives; optimization; multiple integration and its applications; vector calculus (line integrals, vector analysis). Continued use of a computer algebra system.
