[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is being taught in the pre calc classes? Not familiar with that class as school system we came from did Alg 2/Trig, then Analysis and then Calc AB or BC. Is precalc another name for trig and analysis?[/quote]

Subset of Traditional Precalculus == AP Precalculus
Traditional Precalculus == AP Precalculus BC (fcps attached this BC suffix to mean it is more than the substandard AP Precalculus)

Equity advocates raised concerns that the lowest-level math AP, which has recently been AP Calculus AB, was too challenging to study for. In response, the College Board proposed creating a new AP course based on the topics in Traditional Precalculus, which was also considered still too difficult by equity advocates. As a result, the College Board developed AP Precalculus, a subset of Traditional Precalculus topics, aimed at students who don’t plan to take AP Calculus AB/BC but still want the satisfaction of earning AP credit. Equity achieved.

Since AP Precalculus is a subset of Traditional Precalculus, FCPS renamed the latter to AP Precalculus BC, with the "BC" indicating a more advanced level.
