[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Private is typically a year behind due to their tracks[/b]. For schools like MIT this matters but for all others less so. [/quote] No they aren’t. The standard track is Calculus of some flavor in 12th. Sure, there are more kids taking post-calc math in publics than in privates, but most privates offer at least a year of post-Calc math. There are also far more students only hitting Precalculus by 12th in public schools than in privates. It’s not common for privates schools to have seniors in precalc. Privates are not “typically” a year behind.[/quote] I would expect most private school kids, depending on the private to be super smart and more advanced. Depending on the school system kids can start taking Algebra in 7th, and some allow it in 6th. Average kids start in 8th or 9th. You canot go by test scores at a school alone as there is a much bigger range of students.[/quote]
