12th
-Discrete Math (not the hard college course) OR Advanced Functions & Modeling (it’s not an honors class, it’s just all about functions, which sounds cool…but…nah. This is what they usually take.)
What’s y’alls worst math sequence? (Disregarding failures lol)
A sequence that puts Alg 2 at Senior year must be pretty bad. I took the SAT this year just to see what its like, and I didn’t prep at all. I had only just started Algebra, but I don’t think they have problems higher than Geometry. They may have a few Algebra 2 questions, though.
What’s the most advanced math sequence possible at your schools?
At my school the most advanced is:
5th- Math 7
Teacher recommendation to skip PreAlgebra
6th- Algebra 1 (no honors class exists)
7th- Honors Geometry
8th- Honors Algebra 2 <— I am here
9th- Honors Precalculus
10th- AP Calc BC (Argue with GC until they let you skip AP Calc AB)
11th- DE Multivariable and DE Differential Equations/Linear Algebra/Complex Variables/Whatever math class you want
12th- Whatever DE courses you want
For DE courses you have to pay for the class and find the transportation to the nearby community college.
AP Stat is also available after Honors Algebra 2.
New graduation requirement states that ALL students in my county HAVE to take a math course EVERY YEAR of high school. No matter what math you reach.
@Gatortristan, it’s cool that you’re a Junior who is participating in this thread. Didn’t think anyone above freshman would lol.
It’s hard to define an advanced math sequence at my future High school because I don’t know if they’ll allow flexibility, but, based off of my knowledge, it’s the hardest. I hope they offer AP Calc BC because I wanted to DE Calculus III.
Does anyone know if AP Calculus AB or BC are exact high school replicas of the Calculus I and II? I don’t wanna be lost in Calculus III if it’s not.
@IrrationalPepsi they aren’t exact replicas, since colleges do differ with respect to the syllabi of Calc I and Calc II, but generally they’re pretty close. If you do well in Calc BC, you should be good to go in Calc III.
Accelerated Geometry or Geometry ( Accel isnt weighted)
10th Grade
-Algebra 2/Trig ( A lot of students want this to be a weighted course because of the rigor)
-Algebra 2 ( If They take Trig in the summer or during another period they can go to precalc)
11th Grade
-Probability/Statistics
-Precalc ( B/A in Algebra 2 or a C in Alg.2/Trig)
-PreCalculus Honors
