How to get into a harder math class

<p>

</p>

<p>You are on track to be ready for calculus 1 as a frosh in college, based on this sequence:</p>

<p>9th: algebra 1
10th: geometry
11th: algebra 2
12th: trigonometry / precalculus
college frosh: calculus</p>

<p>This is sufficient for engineering at almost all colleges except for a few super-selective schools (Caltech, Harvey Mudd, WUStL, Princeton).</p>

<p>You could try to move into the honors versions of the above high school courses for a more rigorous schedule. If you feel that you must try to get a grade level ahead so that you reach calculus in high school, doubling up on geometry and algebra 2 in 10th grade is the most likely way to do it.</p>
