[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sophomore is in honors precalc (MCPS). Wondering what he should take Junior and Senior years.  He is more interested in humanities and social sciences but [b]is decent in math. [/b]Wants to be competitive for selective liberal arts colleges.  Should he take AB Calc or BC?  What’s the difference?   Or both? (Meaning AB Junior and BC Senior).   If he takes one year of Calc Junior year then should he take AP stats?

Really just asking for college admission purposes.  [/quote]

If he is in honors pre-calc as a 10th grader, he is more than just "decent" in math.[/quote]

That's the typical 10th grade math class for most college-bound kids. My kid got As in Honors Precalc in 10th (and earlier math classes), but is finding AP Calc AB significantly more challenging this year. He'll take AP Stats senior year.[/quote]
Precalc is not typical 10th grade math at any normal high school in the US.  Precalc in 11th is typical college bound.  Precalc in 12th is typical across the board.  Precalc in 10th is the gifted/advanced track.[/quote]
