AP/BC Calculus as a sophmore!?!

<p>Wow, I took AP Calc BC as a sophomore, too! I also do varsity swimming like 5 hours a day, and I found it easy to keep up with schoolwork. I got a 5 on my AP test easy. I would say that as long as you’re reasonably good at math, you should be fine.</p>

<p>Wow. How do you guys do it? I’m a sophmore in precalculus and won’t take AP Calculus to next year, and I’m on the MOST advanced math sequence at my HS. Seriously, only 1 other person is taking it with me and there has been less than 20 students in the history of my high school to every take the same sequence (500 graduates per year, HS is 80 years old, do the math). Do different high schools have different “advanced” math sequences? If so, how do college adcoms factor this on the basis of rigorous curriculum?</p>

<p>I’m more advanced than the most advanced course path at my school.</p>

<p>See, in Georgia, we have Math 1-4 for high school. 1 is generally taken in 9th grade, 2 in 10th, so on. I took 1 in 8th grade, 2 last year, and I’m taking 3 currently while my teacher begins to teach me some calculus and I’ll officially be in AP Calc next semester. </p>

<p>Most people substitute Calc or something for 4.
Or 4 doesn’t actually exist. I really don’t know.</p>

<p>And I’m one of 2 kids doing this, and we should be the only ones to have ever done it at my school.</p>

<p>I don’t really know if it’ll work out in the end since I’ll only be in the actual class for 1 semester…but I’m going to do what I do and give it my all.</p>

<p>My freshman TJ friend took BC Calc & scored the same SAT score as I did when I’m a senior off to college… lol</p>

<p>He’s taking linear algebra now</p>
