[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is taking precal in 9th grade a good idea? Then calc in 10th. Then you can take diff eq and multivar. Then linear algebra and stats. And take all of them again in college? [/quote] Why would you need to take all of them again in college? Post AP math classes are offered dual enrollment and receive credit from GMU. Even if colleges don't transfer the grade, they often transfer the credits from other colleges. A kid could start college with credits for the entire calc sequence plus a few post calc classes. If the college makes everyone retake the entire calc sequence, I'd rather be the kid with the solid foundation for whom the class will be mostly review and an easy A than be the kid who is seeing the material for the first time and competing against the kids in the first group.
