[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back. He is in 9th. 8th grade MapM was 282. I am honestly in a new territory here because I have never had to worry about anything school related. We have always been very hands off with school with all of our kids. Older sibling took regular precalculus in 10th but in a different district. Never had any tutors for math or any of the AP courses. Older sibling is in an engineering program at UMD. This DS, middle child, also wants to be a physicist. He is worried that moving down to regular precalculus will be counted against him during college admissions. He wanted to take Calculus AB in 10th, BC in 11th and AP stats in 12th. He took Algebra 1 in 6th during COVID years but did AoPS Algebra 1 concurrently, so if he has gaps they have to be from Algebra 2. I will try to persuade him to take regular precalculus. [/quote]

I don't get being a hands off parent.  Can you help him?  If not get a tutor.  Pre-cal is far harder than any other math.  Our pre-cal teacher is very good and it's a very different teaching style with a textbook and a lot more homework.  We are very hands on and a parent helps and reviews it with our child.  I would not have him drop down.[/quote]

Op here. I took precalculus in 11th grade 30 years ago. I cannot help at all with math. Our teacher uses a textbook and gives a lot of homework. I am willing to get him a tutor I was just asking if it makes more sense to just step down to regular precalculus. He is a 9th grader so he is still going to be able to take higher level maths.

Tutor.  The answer key to the book is online.  [/quote]
