[quote=Anonymous]What’s the rush? Barring truly gifted mathematicians, and these are few in number, it is rarely necessary to accelerate math this way. In fact, the long term look is that it is a mistake for many. They advance through classes faster than they build deep math understanding. Seems inescapable until colleges clean up their admissions policies. Maybe now that they are overwhelmed with meeting the mental health needs of students, they will slowly start to reconsider how they evaluate applicants. A number of engineering programs do not recommend placing out of their first level calc classes bc they are harder than many of the AP programs, though students find the AP calc is a good foundation for retaking it. A number of colleges do not grant AP credit, so it’s all about gaming for college admissions, not depth of learning. [/quote]
