[quote=Anonymous]My DS (a junior) is taking regular Pre-Calculus this semester. He then planned to take AP Calculus AB next fall. He graduates in Spring 2025, and plans to study Comp Sci or Engineering in college. His school just added AP Pre-Calculus and is now requiring that to be taken prior to AP Calculus AB. DS now says he wants to take AP Pre-Calc next semester so he can take AP Calculus AB next fall. This means he'd be taking another Pre-Calc class right after finishing one. Is there a difference between these 2 classes? Does AP Pre-Calc cover anything that's not already in regular Pre-Calc? My thoughts are that taking 2 of the same course is unnecessary and a waste of his time, but DS is really digging in his heels about this. Wat is your advice, and what would you advise your child to do? Is AP Calculus AB even necessary for him to get into a good Comp Sci program, or will he be fine with just Honors Calculus (in case he ends up not taking the AP Pre-Calculus)?[/quote]
