@jcmom716 Ha! both of those are options. He could do BC for the first quarter, see how it goes, and drop to AB if he wants. (I’m afraid he would never do this. He would not do poorly in BC I’m sure but I would prob want him to drop down if he had a B and he would not agree with me.) And, yes, he could take BC and then Stats. Same as your school, the kids who have been on the advanced math track since middle school, in this case two years ahead, almost always take BC. Guidance counselor said, though, that many of those kids also want to major in engineering or comp sci, which our S19 does not. Maybe I should talk to our son more about starting in BC and seeing what happens…and making him agree to move if he doesn’t have a certain grade by the end of first quarter.
