<p>7th - Algebra
8th - geometry
9th - algebra II w/ trig

12th - AP Stats</p>
<p>up to 11th grade thats the hardest schedule ppl in my class could take…the class under me can take multiple math classes and block math classes during the year</p>
<p>We have one year of AP Calculus AB. My school runs on block schedule, so for 1st semester we take a class called Differential Calculus Honors, while the 2nd semester is AP Calculus AB, so it is a full long class. However, AP Calculus BC at our school is an independent study class, which I’m doing next semester.</p>
<p>Well, to give kids who couldn’t accelerate enough in middle school in their maths, they make it so that juniors can chose to omit AB and go directly from pre-calc to BC, if they know the subject well, of course.</p>
<p>The typical course, however, is to take pre-calc, AB, and BC.</p>
<p>Precalculus Honors
Calculus BC
Calculus III & Differential Equations
Linear Algebra/ Real Analysis</p>
<p>The lazy people can take AP STAT instead of calculus</p>
<p>Real Analysis??? That’s a upper division math class for math majors. What insane high school do you go to?</p>
<p>Most people don’t take real analysis. The highest that people usually go up to is differential equations. We don’t teach Linear Algebra or Real Analysis in high school, it has to be taught somewhere else.</p>
<p>AP Calc AB and BC are each one semester long. I felt like absolutely nothing happened in BC before the test, but that might have been because of the teacher.</p>
<p>This year, I’m taking Linear Algebra/Differential Equations, taught at my high school. AFAIK we’re one of only a few schools that have DiffEQ available.</p>
<p>In my school, there is only 1 class of AP Calculus BC. it has 24 students: 3 or 4 juniors and the rest seniors. There are multiple paths to get to BC.</p>
<p>Path 1(1/3 of the people in BC take this route)
9th: Algebra 2
10th: Precalculus
11th: AP Calculus AB
12th: AP Calculus BC</p>
<p>Path 2:(usually 1 or 2 take this path per year, but my year has me and 2 others taking this)
9th: Adv. Alg 2/Trig w/Analytical geometry
10th: Advanced Precal
11th: AP Calculus BC
12th: AP statistics or Calc III at CC</p>
<p>Path 3: The most common
9th: Advanced Geometry
10th: Advanced Alg 2/trig
11th: Advanced Precal
12th: AP Calculus BC</p>
<p>Path 4: Another possible way but not common
9th: Advanced Alg 2/Trig
10th: Precal
11th: AP calc AB
12th: AP Calculus BC</p>
<ol>
<li>Alg II/Trig Accelerated </li>
<li>Special honors precalculus/IB Math SL (first semester honors precalculus, second semester Calc AB). The textbook is for IB Math. </li>
<li>Calc BC/IB Math HL</li>
</ol>
<p>Or, you can take normal honors precalculus and then Calc AB</p>
<p>9th - alg 1, geometry, honors geo
10th geometry, alg 2, honors alg 2
11th alg 2, precalc, honors precalc
12th = those that were in normal precalc usually go to Calc AB (smartest of them go to BC) and those in honors precalc go to BC. </p>
<p>By the way we finish in march for calc BC, is that really early?</p>
<p>Honors Pre-Calc —> AP Calc AB (~95% of the people)</p>
<p>Honors Pre-Calc —> AP Calc BC (~5% of the people)</p>
<p>If you had a 95% or higher in Precalc, you can take Calc BC.
If you had a 90% or higher in Precalc, you can take Calc AB.
If you had lower than a 90%, you can take Community College Calc.</p>
<p>Our system is set up such that, even with the fastest math track, you can only take Calc in your senior year. One student last year took Precalc over the summer, wasn’t allowed to take Calc BC so he took Calc AB as a junior, and wasn’t allowed to take Calc BC as a senior after he got a 5 on the AB exam.</p>
<p>For my school, AP Calculus BC is just the more difficult option to take. You can take BC right after Precalculus if you wish. (Some people do the AB then BC thing though.)</p>
<p>After Calculus BC, you take Multivariable Calculus, and after that, you take Linear Algebra.</p>
<p>Students can take AB then BC or just BC depending on how tough the rest of their course load is and what they feel they can handle. I took the AB class but got a 5 on the BC test in the same year and now I’m taking the BC class because the school doesn’t take the time and effort to recognize the connection between the AP tests and their courses, or the different courses with each other. People can take Physics C while in precalc or take AP Chem with just Algebra I (though nobody does the latter). There have been a few isolated cases where people have done things like skip pre-calc entirely, though this is because teacher recommendations can override board policy for student placement in courses, though the calculus teacher has never let anyone take BC calculus without AB Calculus or Pre-calc.</p>
<p>How does my school do BC calculus?</p>
<p>In short-- Really badly :D</p>

<p>You have to take both AB and BC at my school, to take BC. I don’t understand it all. Here’s a counselor’s response: “So you can get more AP credit.”</p>
<p>What? You can’t take both exams at the same time!</p>
<p>My school is like a lot others: we have both AB and BC as year-long courses. A third of our students don’t even make it to calc… But most juniors go from pre-Calc to AB as seniors, but like 3 sophomores skip AB and go to BC as juniors. I, as a sophomore, just took the AB route and then I’ll take BC senior year because my school doesn’t offer any post-calculus classes anyway… and I just can’t suffer through AP Stats lol. I kind of regret not skipping AB though since the BC class is just made of the best people.</p>

<p>This is the honors track only
8th-algebra
9th-geometry
10th-algebra 2 with trig
11th-pre-calc
12th-nothing/calculus/AB/BC
AP stats can be taken as an elective in 10,11,or 12</p>
<p>Fastest Track:
8th - Alg.2
9th - Geo
10th - Precalc
11th - Calc BC
12th - Multi</p>
<p>Very smart and competitive school.</p>
<p>At my school BC is a senior exclusive course that requires you take AB your junior year. As you can imagine there isnt exactly a year’s worth of material in BC so we mostly eat cake… seriously. We do a lot of review and stuff though. Only about 20-30 kids have the opportunity to this because it’s the most advanced sequence my school offers. All of this combined equates to 99% of my teacher’s BC kids getting 5’s on their AP exam. lol</p>
