[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ has no math skip tests. shut this thread down[/quote]
That is not true.  Student's can skip levels, and many do.  Most frequently skipped levels - Math 2.5, Math 6, Calc AB[/quote]

This is silly. To be "skipped," a class needs to be required, or close to it. The sequence of math courses at TJ is simply 1-2-3-4-5-AP calc (AB [i]or[/i] BC).

Math 2.5 is an optional class for students whose middle school math classes may not have prepared them well enough for TJ-level Algebra II (i.e., Math 3). Most students don't take it, and even students for whom it's recommended can ignore the recommendation. Not taking it does not mean "skipping" anything.

Math 6 is an optional class for students who want an easier introduction to calculus prior to taking AP calc, and/or have a semester to fill after taking Math 5 and before the next fall semester. Most students don't take it. Not taking it does not mean "skipping" anything.

Calculus AB is not a prerequisite for Calculus BC. The College Board themselves state that the recommended preparation is the same for the two courses. Some schools may require AB before BC, but most, including TJ, do not. Not taking AB does not mean "skipping" anything.
