How many of you took/are taking AP calc as a junior?

<p>im just curious.</p>

<p>I am! BC :)</p>

<p>Moi, je le suis! I love Calc :) AB, that is.</p>

<p>AB! but i need to boost my grade</p>

<p>In my school, if you take Calculus as a junior its considered a big deal.</p>

<p>wow softball r u serious??
in my school ur considered pretty stupid if ur in precalc in ur junior year even those technically its senior level
calc ab as a junior is like ur super smart
calc bc as a junior is like ur a math genius</p>

<p>Me, </p>

<p>AP Calculus ABC</p>

<p>2 years in one! Whoohoo!</p>

<p>It's not so big a deal at our school, since we had an accelerated class mixing both Algebra 2 and PreCalculus into one class last year, and this year we have Calculus AB and BC in one class, it all worked out nicely for me.</p>

<p>Calc BC, yo~
And actually, I like it better than PreCal or Alg II.
And I'm the only junior in my BC class this year. =/ When the seniors leave, its gonna be weird.</p>

<p>we have</p>

<p>ab
and then c/multivariable</p>

<p>are we the only ones
or is calc c the same as bc</p>

<p>Yeah in my school only a few kids ever get to BC calc senior year. (I'm one)</p>

<p>It is a big deal because most students are forced into algebra I 8th grade and geometry 9th, and by that time you can't really do much but follow the track. This is a public school so the only way any student could get ahead was:
1) Going to the middle school I didn't go to 40 minutes early everyday and learn algebra I in 7th grade
2) Drop lunch and do Algebra I and Geometry in freshman year
3) Take a course outside of school at your expense (what my sister and I did).</p>

<p>The reason the school doesn't provide more opportunities is that it would be possible that ambitious parents would push their students into accelerated work and the students would fail. Or they would be fine for a couple year, but then hit trig and fail. Where do put the kids who failed a subject, when the order of mathematics is entirely sequential? This is a large problem for the guidance department because at a public school, not everyone is at the intelligence or dedication levels at private schools. Accelerating math at a public school is a big deal, because, as opposed to a private school, there are less opportunities.</p>

<p>I am, along with 15 other juniors.</p>

<p>I took BC last year and I'm in multivariable this year.</p>

<p>Ilovesoftball, it's the same with my school. There's only like one or two people in calc junior year, and I don't think they're even allowed to take AP- they have to take honors and then AP since we only have AB. </p>

<p>At my school, maybe 1/3 of the juniors are in precalc. The rest are in Algebra II (Math 11 or 11 Honors)- it's the second part of Math B (gotta love regents).</p>

<p>I'm in precalc. Sorry if that means I'm stupid, but at my grammar school only like 8 people took Math 9, and we had to go to a local high school for first period. There was no opportunity at my middle school to get more advanced, and once in high school you follow the track, unless you take a course over the summer, but I'm technically maxing out my school's math courses in senior year, and I have four years of math.</p>

<p>I know someone that took Calculus AB as a freshman. I don't understand how that's possible at all, but the person still managed to get a 5. When I'm a junior, I think I'm gonna attempt to self-study Calculus AB or BC. Still haven't decided yet. Math is my strong point, so I don't think it will be a problem. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Calc BC in 7th grade.</p>

<p>Recognize.</p>

<p>How?!?!?!?</p>

<p>No one in our school i sallowed to take Calc in Junior year >.<. And we only have Calc. AB lol. I feel so dumb.</p>

<p>Actually wait no. We can take it as a junior. Only thing is everyone will lampoon you and you will be the biggest loser considered by our school.</p>

<p>harsh school :)</p>

<p>Usually about fifty people at our school every year take AB as a sophomore and BC/multivariate junior year.
Our school's weird.</p>
