[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Precalculus courses show wide variations between different states and even different counties within states. I’m sure colleges welcome the standardization that comes with making a precalculus class AP level. At least, they now know what content a student has mastered in precalculus. A small percentage of students have completed Calculus in high school. Most have not. And many counties such as MCPS have done away with final exams so having AP Precalculus means those kids have to take a rigorous 2-3 hour final exam. Finally, AP classes tend to be more difficult than their CC equivalent [/quote] All fine. But have regular precalc students take AP Precalc, not honors students who intend to take AP Calc. A student with an AP Calc credit doesn't need to validate their precalc knowledge. That is why it is odd that many local districts are putting honors students into AP Precalc and excluding non-honors students from the course.[/quote]
