[quote=Anonymous]"If you are a strong math student enrolled in Honors Pre-calculus talk with Ms. Rooney, you may still be eligible for AP Physics C: Mechanics. "

This is weirdly ambiguous. Ask the teacher to clarify.

If you are already enrolled in precalculus, then you will take calculus next year when you are in the class you are signing up for now.  So the footnote seems to be saying that calculus corequesite is the stretch opportunity.

But that doesn't match the Prereq explanations above for Mech and E&M.

I suspect it's a mistake, and they mean that most people should take calc first, but strong students can take calc as a coreq. Or they are inviting students who already finished precalc at home / AoPS and will be learning calculus at home while enrolled in precalc and Physics C at school. It is a W school, after all.

As a side note, I'm very happy with the option to take C Mech and C E&M without  any other physics prereq courses, and as single period each. Great option for highly able and prepared students. [/quote]
