<p>Is it possible to take math/science class during the summer of Sophmour year? Do i need to pass GED or something?</p>
<p>Lets say i take pre-calculus in local comm. college during summer. Will high school let me skip to AP Calculus?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>It depends on your high school. Here, you have to be a junior unless you're brilliant, though I don't know how the Concurrent Enrollment Program at your local college works. </p>
<p>Yes. If you take pre-calculus, normally they would let you take calculus. Again, something to talk to your counselor about.</p>
<p>the pre-calculus thing:
it depends on if you pass or not. you could ask the summer school teacher about that. pre calculus and calculus aren't that similar, if you ask me.</p>
<p>Yeah I agree they are pretty different, but nonetheless we're still allowed to go from pre-cal to calculus, so you should be able to. However, if your school is anything like mine then they'll probably freak out and say you can't do it because the Board wants you to take all your classes at the high school. Then once sign-ups for the CC courses have passed their deadlines, you find out that someone at your school did something very similar and there was never a problem. Not that anything ever happened to me like that, and nor I do I harbor any bad feelings toward my GC. <em>turns and throws dart at picture of guidance counselor's face</em></p>
<p>bullseye.</p>
<p>At first ask if you can take classes at the CC. If they let you you should be able to go to AP Calc.</p>
<p>Don't take a lot of classes there though because usually you might not get credit for them in colleges.</p>
<p>Talk to your Assistant Principle, they aren't so anal about these kinds of things. I asked the same question in my math class when I was in algebra 2/trig, and my teacher gave the class a giant lecture about how CC math doesn't really prep you enough as much as our school does and you would be screwed in Calc. He also said that the math department would not allow you to skip classes. Nevertheless I went to my assistant principle, got the paper signed, took the class, and now I am doing fine in Calc.</p>
<p>Go for it, you probably won't regret it.</p>
