[quote=Anonymous]AP Precalc (from College Board) was designed for kids who would end 12th grade with precalc and so they could have the experience of taking an AP math class. FCPS has created two versions of the class - AP Precalc AB (aligns with AP exam, prep for AP Calc AB); and AP Precalc BC (goes beyond AP exam, prepares kids for AP Calc BC). I don't have first hand experience with AP Precalc AB because my kid decided to take BC. But I did do a deep dive on this as we decided, and it does not seem that AP Precalc AB is going to be overwhelming for a kid who did ok in previous math classes. At our school, there is no non-AP Precalc. So, there are definitely kids from regular Algebra II, who take AP Precalc AB and then go on to the non-AP Applied Calculus course, which is, less rigorous than AP Calc AB. Colleges like to see calculus, so I would not tap out on that track so early, even if they aren't planning to be a STEM major. [/quote]
