[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's my understanding that FCPS is teaching AP precalc the same as the old precalc class - so any textbook or study guide for precalc who work.[/quote]

They're teaching differently and  they are testing differently too, like the testing would be on AP tests, with Free Response Questions, etc.

It seems very difficult at our school.  A step up from honors, which makes sense, given the 1.0 bump, but our school stopped offering honors so here my DC is.[/quote]

What district are you in that still gives more points for AP than honors? Colleges recalculate WGPA anyway.

AP Pre calc is specifically designed as a small course because districts have different math progressions. One of the units isn't even on the test, and the prescribed curriculum is smaller than an honors curriculum.

AP precalc is intended for students who won't take a STEM calculus course. It's like AP Env Sci vs Biology or AP CS Principles vs CS AB.

How could it be harder than Honors? [/quote]
