[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So are kids who take grade level pre-calc not prepared to take calculus 1 in college? [/quote] No, they would usually either take college level precacl, if they took grade level precalc in senior year, or take calculus with applications in their senior year, and then calc 1 in college. Most colleges have placement testing, so it's possible that a bright kid would be able to close the gap and place into calc 1. [/quote] Huh? Non-honors HS precal is college level precal. That's why College Board added AP Precal. College precal is for students who finished with Algebra 2 senior year. (Of course, also, anyone can retake a high school class in college if they feel the need. AP calc grads often do.)[/quote]
