<p>I took Alg 2 freshman year and then AP Calc BC sophomore year, and I got a 5 on the exam and a 99 in the class. Just brush up on some trig/precalc over the summer and you’ll probably be fine. </p>
<p>I don’t know how impressive it is, but you’ll have the flexibility to take college-level classes your senior year.</p>
<p>I don’t really think its that big of a deal, because at my school, at lot of students take calc bc junior year. Pre-calc classes are pretty pointless anyway</p>
<p>I took Algebra 2 Honors freshman year, pre-calc sophomore year, and calc BC junior year (got an A in BC first semester). Here are my thoughts:</p>
<p>Pre-calc/trig is not necessary for calc BC. You might have to learn a little pre-calc as you progress through calc, but skipping pre-calc is definitely do-able.</p>
<p>Not particularly impressive imo. Precalc, for me, was Alg 2 rehash + Trig. The only thing you really skipped was Geometry and Precalc. The former is not really necessary for Calc. In addition, for Precalc the only new thing you learn is Trig, of which you don’t need too much of. I personally did Geometry to Calc BC.</p>
<p>^yea i did the same thing. geometry freshman to calc bc soph.
really not that impressive.
unless you took advanced complex analysis (calculus 5/6 level) in 6th grade, i doubt they would care that much. you’ll just be average/below average for math/science majors.</p>
