[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those whose children took multivariable, linear eq and diff eq, what were their math SAT score?

The reason I ask is because it is incredibly rare to have math beyond Calc BC where I am from![/quote]

My kid who took all three had a 770.

And, it is very very rare for kids in the DMV to take MVC, LA, and DE in high school. Don’t get the wrong impression from this thread.

MVC is more common but it is much less common to do the other two.[/quote]

Agreed. My senior currently taking MVC is one of maybe 10 in the graduating class of 500. Might do linear algebra in the spring; TBD. [/quote] Why is it so rare? 7th grade algebra is fairly common, and that leads to MVC at a normal pace with BC so what gives?[/quote]

Our HS doesn’t offer MVC. The students taking it are doing so at a university through an agreement with the school system, which is an awesome opportunity but also creates lots of hurdles—you have to apply/be accepted then build your senior year schedule to accommodate the class off-campus. It’s a pain, and if my kid weren’t an aspiring math major, I probably would not have encouraged him to do it.

Most of the kids taking BC junior year take AP stats senior year.[/quote] See above - Abbott and Tao have written great real analysis textbooks[/quote]
