[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD’s high school piloted “AP Pre-Calculus” last year. DD had all As and got a 5 on the AP Pre-Calculus test. She got into the early college program for this fall and had to take a math skills boost class this summer in order to enroll bc Montgomery College said while her math score on the ACER qualified her for the early college program, she was not ready for Calculus 1. Most of this is bc her high school is a joke (which is why she decided to apply for early college). But so is MCPS bc ultimately they are responsible for the quality of her education at said high school. [/quote] AP Pre-Cal is a joke. This class should not be real as it’s not more difficult than most Pre-Cal classes and definitely not more difficult than Hns Pre-Cal.[/quote] I don't think it's a joke, but it's not a rigorous course. If AP precalc replaces any course, it should be the on-level precalc, not the honors version[/quote]
