<p>Junior- Calc AB
Senior- Calc BC
In no way can you take BC without AB unless you selfstudy and get a 5 on the AB test, and I can't since I'm skipping pre-calc.
My school district is REALLY bad in math. Out of the 6000+ people at my school, only about 20 made it to Calc BC this year.</p>
<p>I have a question, what math did you take in freshmen?</p>
<p>Me? Al/Geo/Stat II (Algebra/Geometry/Statistics)</p>
<p>You're considered to be good at math and in the "smart" course if you finish Al/Geo/Stat in 3 years and go on to pre-calc. It's SOO bad.</p>
<p>Isn't it difficult to double up for Algebra and Geometry, because the Geometry course in my school is difficult. I was thinking about doubling up, but I got discouraged by the high schoolers. What grades did you pull up in Algebra and Geometry?</p>
<p>They are all combined into one year so you can't double up. I took Algebra I in 8th grade and got an A I think both semesters. Last year in AGS II I got an A and then a B+ because I failed my final. I had a really bad flu the week of finals and couldn't come to school. The rest of my teachers let me take it the next week but she only let me delay a day. I finished with an 89.9 when an A- is 90. I was sooo mad. Easy A this year though in AGS 3P (the P means accelerated, it's really normal level compared to other schools.) </p>
<p>If I had a year of geometry, I'd probably have a B cause I'm bad with geometry.</p>
<p>no one in my school
like fizix, said, smart students take it senior year, regular students take precalc senior year, the umm...least academically inclined students take a college algebra 2 class.</p>
<p>I will. I'll be stuck with AP Stats my senior year, the highest possible.</p>

I wouldn't bother with wasting time relearning stuff in BC that you did learn in AB. About 90% of BC is really AB.</p>
<p>So should I take the BC test next year? I need a math for my senior year then.</p>
<p>LOL are you serious? I took BC in 10th and I don't feel one bit special. There are thousands of kids who take it as either 7th, 8th, or 9th graders (and Aaron Potechin did it in 5th of course...T_T)</p>
<p>i cant take calc bc because my school does not offer it so to get my last credit i have to take ab</p>
<p>i went geometry and algebra 2, pre calc, calc bc and stat, linear algebra and differential equations and multivariable calc</p>
<p>ok... does anone know what the GENERAL PUBLIC does? not CC overachievers? like, kids going to colleges across the nation?</p>
<p>Alg I -> Geo -> Alg II -> Pre-calc
Some go to Calc AB</p>

How advanced do they usually get (multivariable calc, group theory, topology, linear algebra, advanced statistics and probability)? And at what grade?

</p>
<p>It depends on when they finish, but here is what one could theoretically accomplish if they finish BC Calculus in 9th grade:</p>
<p>===</p>
<p>Summer (and into 10th grade, possibly) - Linear Algebra and\or Multivariable Calculus through Distance Education or Local University</p>
<p>10th - Differential Equations and Complex Analysis at school, Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, and Partial Differential Equations over the course of the year through DE or Local University</p>
<p>Beyond - (I'm assuming they branch out at this level and don't follow a sequence; hence, there are a lot of choices) Point-Set Topology, Combinatorics, Graph Theory, Number Theory, Logic, Set Theory, Manifold Theory, Nonlinear Dynamics (and Chaos :D) Supersymmetric Quantum Field Theories, Stochastic Differential Equations, Geometric Topology...</p>
<p>===</p>
<p>Less mathematics-oriented people would spread out the courses over a longer period of time.</p>
<p>ChaosTheory, have you already studied yourself? :)</p>
<p>Calc I & II at local community college, Junior Year. I took the BC exam that year and got a 5.</p>
<p>for general public, most take precalc senior year believe it or not. most above average students take calc senior year.</p>
<p>It's kind of pointless to say "I did." You all should be giving average stats of the school. Like I said, about 25/520 sophomores and juniors combined take Calc. Probably a better measure of the "general" population.</p>
<p>Me and about a dozen other juniors are in BC Calc, but no one's a real math genius. Maybe just under a quarter of juniors are in AB. My school has it so if you've been in honors, by 11th you either take stat or calc.</p>
<p>I'm planning on taking multivariable and linear algebra next year</p>
