<p>I am now in a freshmen in high school and I am taking Alg 2/Trig. My math teacher says that for 10th grade I can either take AP statistics or advanced pre-calculus. Which one should I take??? I want to have an "AP" course, but I heard that AP stats is the easiest and most useless AP course. Is that true?? Please help!!</p>
<p>Take advanced pre-calc. It’ll be sequential for future math classes such as AP Calc and multivariable.</p>
<p>Definitely pre-calc. AP Stats is a complete waste of time IMO (my school never runs it so I just ended taking a half semester stats course and still got a 4 on the test). It also doesn’t lead to anything so you’ve just wasted a year.</p>
<p>Pre-Calc leads into AP Calc BC and then into Calc 3 (or you can be like me and skip Calc 3 for Diff Eq…don’t ask me why).</p>
<p>Actually, I’d take Stats for the AP. AP Calculus AB is simple enough for you to self-study even if you only have less than an hour each day to do so. For BC, it’s a little harder to understand but you’re only going for pre-calc so it should be relatively easy to learn compared to AB :)</p>
<p>Of course, if you don’t have the time, take adv. pre-calc and screw stats. I’ve never learned it but I know I’ll probably never need that stuff for college.</p>
