[quote=Anonymous]That’s the advice from DC, who had a tough time with calculus during their freshman year of college. Looking back, they really wished they’d taken calculus in high school—not to ace it, but just to get a first look. Jumping straight into a half year, semester-based college Calculus 1 course without any prior exposure felt overwhelming. A full-year high school course like AP Calculus AB could’ve been a helpful preview, giving them a solid starting point and making the transition much smoother. While many of DC’s peers skipped Calc 1 and went straight into Calc 2, DC learns at a slower pace and felt that even getting a B in high school calculus would’ve been far better than going in cold. There’s been a lot of debate here about whether it’s better for students to wait until college to take calculus. I just wanted to share some feedback based on DC’s experience.[/quote]
