<p>I need a straight answer, should I take Math Level 2 or Level 1 if I haven't even had pre-calc yet?</p>

<p>I'm scheduled for Lvl 1 this June.</p>

<p>I took Math 2 in May w/o precalc, but our school offers a functions/stats/trig class to bridge alg 2 and precalc. So I basically did not encounter any problem I had not yet learned. If you have taken a trig class of some sort, you may be fine (with a bit of extra prep). If you're coming straight from algebra 2, you might want to go with math 1 b/c there is a LOT of trig on math 2.</p>

<p>Pre-calc is basically a repeat of algebra II (or advanced algebra), with somewhat more depth in a few places. You should be prepared.</p>

<p>Personally, I like math and I get it all. I'm finishing pre-calc right now (with a high A) and (personally, again) wouldn't take the math IIc. Sorta very difficult for me, given the time constraints.</p>

4

<p>you definately need to take precal and take IIC...
or even at least took half an year of precal at your school..
or you should get a damn good tutor who can teach you everything
in a short amount of time</p>

5

<p>lol take level 1...Unless you already know how to do trig identities and sigmas then go for Math Level 2</p>

6

<p>Take level 1</p>

7

<p>Level 1, man.</p>

8

<p>Oh, forgot about the identities that pop up in precalc... yeah, you're better off with level 1.</p>

9

<p>I am in a similar case- just finishing alg II, but I know some trig such as cot,cosec, sec. I also know sigma. I also am strong in school math (A). what should i do?</p>

10

<p>lol, we aren't talking about sec and cosec and cot, we're talking about identitites like sin^2 + cos^2 = 1</p>

11

<p>They're actually pretty easy to understand. Proving identities is tricky, though I don't think you have to do anything of the sort on the math IIC.</p>

12

<p>But lvl I has a really tough curves. I actually found IC harder than IIC,in terms of scores. haha</p>

13

<p>"lvl I has"</p>

<p>I had difficulty understanding this. I thought you were trying to make an "M" using 1337, haha.</p>

14

<p>Math A is not sufficient for math lvl2, either wait a year if you can, or take lvl 1.</p>
