[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP precalc is generally considered less rigorous than honors precalc but more rigorous than on level precalc.  Several threads discuss this in detail.

The big question for me is “what colleges give college credit for precalc?”  If the answer is none, I’m not sure an AP class makes sense here.[/quote]

It's a sop to the kids who take it in senior year. Serves no purpose for the 9th graders taking honors precalc and who will go on to AP Calc BC, then multivariable then whatever else in dual enrollment.[/quote]

No purpose to who?  My child is doing it.  They enjoy math.[/quote]

Because if you're not a senior, Honors Precalc is more comprehensive and prepares you better for AP Calc BC (or Ap Calc AB).
If you're a senior, and only at precalc level, it's nice to be able to say you took an AP in math.
If your school doesn't offer Honors Precalc, then ask for it to be reinstated.

+1. The AP precalc serves as a capstone for those who won't take calc in HS. Honors precalc is better at preparing students for AP Calculus. [/quote]

+1. Honors PreCal is definitely the class to take for Cal BC preparation.  I honestly have no idea why AP Pre-Cal was even created. [/quote]

The College Board's reason why they wanted to make AP Pre-Calc:
