[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If kids are able to enroll in Honors Precal and then drop down to regular Precal and still take AP Calc the next year I am unaware of that. As far as I know, Honors Precal is really the only Precal that our school offers. If you don't do well in Honors Precal, I believe you're stuck with a less than stellar grade and you simply don't qualify to take AP Cal.

I think that there is some more flexibility in other school systems like FCPS with regards to being able to take regular Alg 1/Alg 2/Precal followed by AP Cal.[/quote]

I'm the PP, and my kid is in FCPS.  As far as I can tell, kids who do well in regular pre-calc (as juniors) are able to take Calc AB, while some take applied/regular calculus and some just take AP Stats.  Kids who do well in honors pre-calc generally take Calc BC, but some take Calc AB.  My DC does report that the kids who took regular pre-calc are finding Calc AB more challenging.  [/quote]

Yeah, many of the kids will choose to retake Calc at college for lots of reasons.  When they do retake it, I'm sure that they will be happy that they had some exposure to it in HS.[/quote]
