Pre-Calculus and Calculus?
Hey uhmmm i’m going into junior year at my high school and i had serious schedule problems this year. I’m taking ap chem bio and english and i’m supposed to be taking pre-calculus but it didnt fit anywhere in my schedule because of the periods it was so my guidance counselor called the head of the math department and she said since i got a 97 in math BH as my final grade to put me in ap calculus. I’m really nervous that I’m not gonna be able to handle it. Has anyone taken both? Do you really need pre-calc for calculus? The teacher said she was gonna work with me on some pre-calc stuff to get me caught up i’m just wondering if its gonna be to much with the other ap i’m taking. What do you think??????

if ap calc in jr yr then what math in sr yr???
I am old school and they didn’t have all these offerings when I went to hs. Equiv to your pre calc was the max. Then in summer session JC after I graduated I took calc. Calc was a breeze because the instructor was great but I was at least a yr older. Don’t sweat it. Probably better to challenge yourself that to spend a year bored in pre calc. Good luck and don’t take things to seriously, remember to be a kid now and then.

I would say architecture is a part of engineering which means that a good grasp on math is essential, pre-cal is is like algebra to the next level with the Pi chart and knowing about radians and angle measures (which seems important) but Calculus is the study of derivatives, (the slope of a line at a certain point) kind of pointless no matter what field of workd your going to, if you ask me.

Have you taken geometry and trigonometry at honors, accelerated, or AP level? If so you should be fine. I took AP Calculus in my junior year and I did great! The final gave me a good smack, but I still passed with an A. If you get A’s in honors, AP, etc (especially math courses) then you should be fine with a geometry and trig base.

Calculus is very different than the other math you know. I had a CRUMMY calculus teacher and fell behind. I NEVER recovered. I would be careful. Take the pre-calc.

Pre calc helps but since you are a strong in Math then you should have some difficulty early on but will catch on fast.

No u dont need precal 4 Cal, but AP Cal is a little tough. I would recommend that you keep up with it and ask your Teacher if anything is unclear the same day…

since your teacher is going to help you out, I honestly dont think you have anything to worry about.
