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

<p>I took Calc BC last year as a junior and I am in multivaraible calc. this year. Only a few kids in my school do this.</p>

<p>at my school only seniors take AP, and its Calc AB not BC. juniors take either honors precalc,algebra2&trig, or algebra 2</p>

<p>I'm in AP Calc AB as a junior. Anyone who is in AP Calc BC as a junior is considered a genius at my school. </p>

<p>Regular math plan for "smart people" at my school</p>

<p>9th: Geometry
10th: Algebra II/Trig Honors
11th: AP Calculus AB
12th: AP Calculus BC</p>

<p>Well I am. Well AB that is.</p>

<p>At our school it's "normal" for a junior to take Calc. And we have a bunch of them taking BC as well.</p>

<p>at my schools, the advanced juniors are in AB, then there is Adv. Pre-Calc, Pre-Calc, and Algebra 2</p>

<p>there is one guy who studied 9th grade math in the summer before it so took AB sophomore year, and is taking BC junior year</p>

<p>I self-studied calc AB the summer after my junior year but I didn't get far enough to skip out of the class... So now I'm stuck doing derivatives during class when I could be starting on solids of revolution.</p>

<p>i am taking calc AB rite now..
do you guys recommend i take BC next year (senior)??
then i should prob only take BC exam next year rite?
has anyone done this before???</p>

<p>we cant take calculus until senior year. well last year we did have a junior in calculus but it was NOT becuz he was smart he just went to a different middle school and didnt have to take geometry freshman year. hes in my BC class this year as a senior and hes still getting bad grades even tho he took calculus last year.</p>

<p>I was in University of Minnesota's Talented Youth Math Program
so when I moved to NC before my freshmen year
I enrolled into IB Methods I
basically AB Calc </p>

<p>a friend of mine is the only other person I know that took AB exam as a freshmen (he's a senior or one year older than me right now)</p>

<p>then HL-2 was BC Calc</p>

<p>they don't let juniors test in IB HL-3 so I am taking AP Stat this year
but I joined Stanford's EPGY so I could take M52A Multivariable Differentiation</p>

<p>hopefully I will complete 4 college level courses</p>

<p>(3)M51A Linear Algebra</p>

<p>(1)M52A Multivariable Differential Calculus</p>

<p>(2)M52B Multivariable Integral Calculus</p>

<p>and then one of the following:</p>

<p>(4)M53A Differential Equations
(4)M109 Modern Algebra
(4)M115 Real Analysis</p>

<p>(n) = predicted order</p>

<p>I took it as a sophomore, if that counts.</p>

<p>My friend, who is a crazy insane math genius, took it in 8th grade or something crazy like that. I'm pretty sure he took multivariable his freshman year, at least.</p>

<p>i did...not bad at all</p>

<p>but i did have an excellent tutor</p>

<p>me calc is funnn </p>

<p>Wow, I can't believe so many high schools are that lucky!
My school only offers one AP Calc class, which is a mix of AB and BC, and its only for seniors. (Even if you excel in precalc) This really sucks for me since I am so bored of doing 5th grade review (asymptotes are the "hardest" things we've covered so far). They don't even offer honors of AP Physics, which really sucks since I want to go into engineering. I hate my stupid slow classes!!!</p>

<p>O Well next year I'll be a senior with hopefully 5-6 AP classes which should be enough to make me self respectable.</p>

<p>I'm taking Calculus AB now, as a junior, but this is a rarity at my school. The "smart" kids are now only in pre-calc.</p>

<p>yeah ill be taking hon. precalc as a junior, seems pretty easy.</p>

<p>My son and another junior are taking AP Calc BC this year. They will have to take Differential Equations next year, because it's the only math class offered beyond AP Calc BC and they need 4 credits of math to graduate.</p>

<p>oh worried_mom why are you so worried? lol</p>

<p>GreenDayFan: I'm certainly not worried about Son #2 (the junior taking AP Calc BC). No, the name comes from the stress caused by his older brother -- who was a major slacker in high school -- extremely bright, testing off the charts, but never did his homework or paid attention in class so his grades were way less than they could be. </p>

<p>But Son #1 did finally see the light and is now doing extremely well in college. But I never bothered to change my screen name!</p>

<p>My son took a college course for accelerated high school students just like AP calculus AB last year (eighth grade). His course this year (H.S. freshman) covers the "C" part of the AP calculus BC syllabus and then goes into linear algebra. I expect he will take the May 2007 AP calculus BC test at the end of this school year. Multivariable calculus is next year's course (tenth grade). </p>

<p>He is not the only one. The program here was founded at our state's university a few years after I graduated from high school, so it is well established in our community for young people to take advanced courses in math.</p>

<p>Calculus BC and AB could be done together. There's not much in BC.
Even Multivariable Calculus (at least an intro) could be done in HS. It's not too difficult if you like math.</p>
