[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't let your child take AP Stats WITH another math class unless they're good at math and write decently. I teach AP Stats and we have a fair number of struggling students who underestimated the class., all the more so if they're taking another math class. The math isn't complicated but it's a class that requires you to think.[/quote]

Maybe a dumb question but how do you know your kid is good enough in math? Assuming kid is situated as in OP - in regular pre Calc as a junior so not an advanced math student. Is there an SAT score that would so indicate? [/quote]

It's hard to tell without knowing the student, but as a rule of thumb I would say that they shouldn't take two classes unless they have an A in precalc without retakes. And don't take AP Stats unless they have a B in precalc without retakes. If the grade is lower, take regular Stats instead to start preparing for college-level stats once they go to college. Or take applied Calc, but not both.[/quote]
