[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My number one piece of advice is, if you are even passingly interested in top schools, get a math tutor now. Even/especially if your kid is a "humanities kid". Your kid's guidance counselor gets asked if your kid took the most challenging classes. If they didn't take calc bc and ap physics c (for most high schools around here) the counselor can't say yes. Get the tutor now and keep it up through graduation rather than crying about it later.[/quote] So your advice is to keep pounding, pounding, pounding until the square peg is worn down enough to fit through the round hole?[/quote] Any normal student can get pretty good at math with enough exposure. Most of our schools don't offer enough exposure, so supplementing is a good idea.[/quote] PP is implying that everyone should aim for AP Physics and Calculus. This is absolutely not true.[/quote]
