<p>At my school if you have a high B or above in Pre-AP Calculus you go to AP Calculus BC, if you have an average B to a C you go to AP Calculus AB and if you have a D or low C in Pre-AP Calculus you go to AP Ststistics or regular Calculus.</p>
<p>For our school, you have to waste four years in integrated math (abstract math that pretty much requires you to explain every answer in at least 1-2 paragraphs for each problem). But, you can start integrated math a year early if you are "gifted/highly capable." I did that and then took an integrated math class during the summer to get ahead, so I'm a junior in Calc right now which is pretty much unheard of at my school. </p>
<p>I'm taking it at the local college and I love it! There's 11 other students in my class and the teacher is amazing!!! The ways he explains things make so much sense and it's really interesting. He's pretty young (mid 20s probably) and so he's really enthusiastic and wants to help with whatever problem you have. It's the first math class I've actually felt confident in and excited to go to. After I finish Calc 1(Differential Calc), the college offers Calc 2 (Integral Calc) , Calc 3 (Multivariable?), and Calc 4 (Differential Equations). I'm hoping to finish the sequence by the end of high school.</p>
<p>My school divides people all the way back in grade 7, where the math tracks split into three: Remedial, Normal, and Advanced. All students that maintain an G.P. average of 3 or higher stay in the track selected in 7th grade; 2-3 merits dropping. (This is only conducted after two and four years. If one fails to drop out by the end of 10th grade, it is impossible to leave the track.) Advanced students take BC after four years; Normal students take AB; and Remedial students take Trigonometry and Calculus A. BC is exactly what it says; it begins at integrals, without review of the previous year, so the class only covers eight chapters of the calculus text, four per semester, and is rather easy. (Calculus A in the advanced track is taken during my current (junior) year, during the second semester, which starts in a week.))</p>
