[quote=Anonymous]AP Precalc exam is intentionally minimalist because they are afraid to test anything you might have learned in Algebra 2 or Geometry class in your district, and because it is intended for students who might never take Calculus. And even beyond Precalculus, AP math asks basic multiple choice questions. (Is your student solving those questions without using the multiple choice options?) It is not a complete honors level high school precalculus class. Your school is doing well to ask more than that minimum. It's also possible your class has exceptionally hard assessments. You should focus on the current class first! Where are points being lost? AP Calculus tests are quite easy tests of basic concepts, with a very generous curve (70% = 5). My kid can solve most questions, but too slowly, even though they have only learned a few hours of informal calculus conversations. So your student might be fine on the exam even if your class has much higher standards [/quote]
