[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very risky move to take Advanced Cal in junior, which is equivalent to AP Cal BC or even harder.  We had a senior taking it who was admitted to Princeton, she pulled a C.  Luckily the offer was not rescinded.  Had she taken that course in Junior, she would be going to Rochester this Fall! [/quote]

She doesn't sound like Princeton material if she can only get a C in Calc BC as a senior.  What kind of school are you going to with that high grade inflation? My public school kid took it as a sophmore with an A but they also were in tutoring as the teacher wasn't strong.[/quote]

Advanced calc is NOT calc BC.  Advanced calc is a much harder and comes after BC.  [/quote]

So, what is it?  MV?  [/quote]

My kids go to a special magnet STEM school.  They offer Calc AB, Calc BC, Advanced calc, MV, and DE.  You can take Adv Calc after BC, or after taking both AB and BC.  It’s like a Calc 3 or C/D if you will.  It’s extremely challenging and most kids opt for a different math after calc BC (MV, DE, stats) or stop at BC[/quote]

What’s on the syllabus/curriculum?[/quote]
