AP Calc or AP Stats

<p>Okay so next year is my senior year and I currently am taking trig/pre Cal. I don't find that I like pre cal but I hear Cal is better for college admissions. So I wanted to know which is easier and why because I need to get atleast a B. Secondly just a side question if I just need a semester of a class can I drop it 2nd semesster of my senior year without my college acceptance being recided I believe its called</p>

<p>Depends, do you want to go into business or be a doctor?</p>

<p>Most likely business between those two options…</p>

<p>I’d go with Stats then, it’s easier.</p>

<p>Take both. I know Wharton (best undergrad b school if you’re not aware) strongly recommends that its students take calc. Stats is pretty easy too.</p>

<p>Calc is actually better and possibly slightly easier than precalc. The hardest part of it is remembering the algebra you learned years ago. I hated parts of precalc but calc wasn’t nearly as bad.</p>

<p>I’m taking both. From what I’ve heard at my school, Stats is A LOT harder. Could be just our teacher though.</p>

<p>Generally, if you’re going to major in a business-related field (accounting, finance, marketing, IB, etc.) choose Stats.</p>

<p>If you’re going to major in any science, technology, engineering, or math field, choose Calc.</p>

<p>Stats and Calc are definitely different types of math. I’m in Stats now, and I find it easier than any math course I’ve taken before. I guess it’s more numbers based, not big concepts and such. Lots of formulas, but not a lot of memorization (you get a pretty good formula sheet).</p>
