[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is partly a cash grab by College Board. But the actual reasoning is that it is for students who will not ever take Calculus in high school, to give them an AP class to take their senior year, both for their self-image (and GPA) and for (possible) college credit. To give high school seniors a goal class and a math cap class. But school districts already offer precal for juniors (or earlier) and it didn't make sense for them to have two different precal tracks, for calculus bound students and for non-calculus bound students. So now students take AP Precalc and AP Calc. And it doesn't make a lot of sense and is basically just a cash grab for College Board, for those students and families. [/quote]The thing is students can already get college credit for precalc via the precalc CLEP.[/quote]
