[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is TJ Calculus BC and is it a required course?  For students the complete Algebra 1 in 8th grade, in what year would they be taking this course?  [/quote]
A Algebra 1 in 8th grade student entering TJ is unlikely to reach TJ Calculus BC unless they skip a level or take a summer math course.  [/quote]
It's a stretch to get to Calculus BC if student enters having done Algebra 1 level as we have found it.  Geometry at TJ is much more difficult than doing it at middle school.   TJ math any level is tough as is, skipping a level would make the next level that much more difficult.

To the person saying it's OK to get a B in math, that's being too optimistic.  There are a significant number of students that get C especially in Calculus AB, and it the minimum required to graduate. [/quote]

What are you talking about?

Geometry being hard doesn't make calculus harder. If anything, it makes calculus easier 
TJ Math 1,2,3,4,5, Calc BC (with RS1 in there somewhere) isn't skipping anything.

skipping Calc AB, and going directly from Math 5 to Calc BC is a challenge for advanced students themselves.  Quite unlikely a student entering at lowest level Math1, would skip and enroll in Calc BC.  The utmost these students would take on is Calc AB, and that's a struggle by itself, but unavoidable minimum graduation requirement.  [/quote]

It should be considered absolutely normal to take only Calculus BC without AB first. It's hard, but hardly insurmountable.[/quote]
