[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pre-rec for AP Statistics is Algebra II[/quote]

Prerequisites and what you need to know to do well are two different things. The fundamentals  of binomial and geometric distributions are taught in precalculus. You can treat inferential statistics with rudimentary tools or be prepared with calculus bc under your belt.

What would be the reason to take AP statistics concurrent with precalculus? Can’t thing of a good one. There’s not much to gain, and taking it before being prepared can waste an elective slot and damage the gpa. Take the prerequisite for AP science instead.

OPs student is advanced enough to exhaust most AP and DE classes anyways.

9th precalculus
10th AP calculus bc
11th multivariable and linear algebra (1 semester each)
12th differential equations (1 semester) and AP statistics (2 semesters)

If you really don’t want to double in math during the school year plan for linear algebra or differential equations over the summer since they are lighter than the rest.[/quote]
