[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is a sophomore who decided to skip pre calculus and go straight to taking AP calculus this year. Now he tells me it’s his goal to get a B in the calculus class.

I have not said anything to him about this because he is a motivated student and is taking charge of his own education. Also, he is extremely strong willed. His school counselor advised him against it, but left the final decision up to him.

I am wondering how getting a B in this class will affect his college applications.  Is it no big deal? Or will it hurt him?

I don’t want to put pressure on him. But I don’t want him to be making bad decisions. He is an only child, so I don’t have experience with today’s application process.

Is he taking the class to show off or because he wanted a challenge, or because he thought the teachers was better?

If he was taking the class for any reason other than to show off, and he likes it, he should stay in the class, get a tutor and see this as a chance to learn how to handle a challenging class.
