[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either next year Cal AB, then BC or Pre-Cal to Cal BC.  Most kids at our school do Cal AB, then BC, but mine went directly to BC.[/quote]

I’ve never heard of anyone going from on level pre calc to BC. [/quote]

Really?   So, you’ve never heard of it.  It’s pretty common. My kid is doing it.  [/quote]

I want to make sure everyone is saying the same thing. You're saying lots of kids do regular (not honors) pre calc and go straight into BC?

I don't think that happens at our school (I've not heard of it, at least).  Perhaps this is one of those school-specific things.  At our school, they say that the honors version of pre-calc covers the beginning of AB Calc, which is why many people skip to BC.

At our school, the typical path would be 
regular (not honors) pre calc--> AB-->BC (never calc with applications).
honors pre-calc --> AB-->BC (our honors pre calc teacher said about half of honors precalc kids do this)
honors pre-calc-->BC (the other half of honors pre calc students).
