[quote=Anonymous]There is an important difference between pre-calc and the other MCPS math classes. People should only answer if they know specifically about pre-calc (and not assume it's the same as, say, Honors Alg II). I have a kid studying applied math at an Ivy. She tells me that honors pre-calc was the hardest math class she took in HS (harder than AP calc). Lots of kids who took 'honors' all the way through decide to move down for pre-calc. Honors pre-calc sets you up so you can go straight into BC calc (skipping AB calc). (At least at our HS.) Regular pre-calc has a bit less content, so you go into AB calc first, and then go to BC. (Again, at least at our HS.) For most advanced classes, I agree with a PP's advice to try the advanced one first and then move down if necessarily. I'm not sure I'd say the same for this, but it's not a terrible strategy. Just make sure you move down if the kid is struggling. [/quote]
