[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid should talk to the current precalc teacher and see what is recommended. In many schools there is a decent sized group (15% of our school) who does MVC in 12th after BC in 11th. In other schools MVC in 12th is rare or nonexistent. If MVC is a normal path, and your kid is very good at math/ easily one of the top students in precal, and the teacher agrees BC next is where he should go, then do it. The teachers know the tracks best and where students fit best. [/quote]

This. Teachers at my kid's school recommend the appropriate sequence based on a kid's performance in the current class.

Also, you might have your kid check with other students who have taken or are currently taking MV to get an idea of how difficult the teachers are and the grading system.  My kid (currently in BC) notes that some kids come out of MV Calc nearly crying because of test grades, some in the 30s/40s. But it's graded on a curve and is fine for most kids.[/quote]MVC is hard if you're week in your Calc 1 or Calc 2 skills, or if you have poor spatial reasoning.[/quote]
