<p>My daughter is a freshman currently in Honors Algebra 2, with a solid A. Even though she has always been successful in math, it requires a lot of effort and does not always come easily. For this reason she is considering taking SL math(two years at her school), instead of HL as her math teacher recommended. She is interested law and looking at Stanford, UCLA, Berkley.</p>
<p>She has been advised by her counselor to take AP statistics next year, then SL 1 and 2 junior and senior years. She is being discouraged from taking SL 1 and 2 first, and stats senior year because it does not show progressive difficulty and the AP exam will not be on her college applications. However, either option is possible. </p>
<p>I am concerned about her taking statistics before SL math, for continuity reasons from Alg2, and preparation for SATs. Any thoughts?</p>
