[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son also doing Pre-calc now in 10th. IHe's always made As in math but says pre-calc is a challenge for sure.

He does know some sophomore kids who are taking Calc BC and MV Calc/LA.  I guess those kids are the true math prodigies. I wonder what the advantage is though of being that far ahead. Is it to stand out from peers for college admissions? Do they intend to be math majors?

Wondering if anyone out there has kids that were/are this far ahead and what their overall goal is/was?[/quote]

Part of the reason students take BC is they like it or at least can handle it, either in their own opinion or their math teacher the prior year.

The other part is comparison to other classmates. My student in BC is a stem kid and feels strongly that his college applications will be strengthened with BC instead of AB. Especially since over 80 students in his school take BC. Does not want to be up against them in the application pile with AB instead of BC. Not the only factor but that is part of the thinking.[/quote]
