[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One option is to retake the class in college as an extra class. If you've already taken it, then retaking it shouldn't be a big workload. And if they don't want to worry about wasting time on all the assignments, they could audit it or take it pass/fail, if that's an option. I took AP physics and then took physics 101 as a 5th course (in a school where the standard load was 4 courses) pass/fail freshman year as a refresher.

But it's really going to depend on how the course is taught in HS and college. My child is took calc BC as a junior and is taking discrete math as a 12th grader, but the teacher was clear that he was not teaching a college level class, and that the students would not be ready to skip discrete math in college, but if they took it they would probably find it pretty easy since they'd have already seen most of it.[/quote]
A big difference between calculus in hs and in college is the use of calculators. Some professors in college will outright ban them for tests and many will only allow a basic one. Many hs kids cheat on learning calculus because they rely on demos or a TI-84/nspire.[/quote]
