Do you mean 6th?

People who take algebra in 7th can take AP Calculus BC as a senior if there is no multivariable or linear at their school
[/quote]

Many kids will skip AB and take BC. [/quote]

But you don't HAVE to do that. So starting Alg in 7th does not automatically mean you have to end up with MV in 12th - it could mean you have space to do Calc at a slower pace which may be good for some. [/quote]

But doesn’t that go against the whole idea of acceleration which is what they wanted to begin with (hence taking algebra 1 in 7th)? They shouldn’t need a slower pace if they are math whizzes![/quote]

I'm the poster who thought no one takes MV for grins and giggles. As posters above corrected me, they [b]do[/b] take it to demonstrate rigor (which is not the same as grins and giggles), and taking AB and then BC wouldn't do that.[/quote]

My kid's school requires everyone to take Calc AB so he's going to have to take AB and then BC.[/quote]
