<p>I dont want to take another year of math which would give be 8 semesters instead of 6 the standard is 7 does that mean i only have to take 1 more semester? arent you supposed to take part a and B of a course? my school and college counselor were both very confused about this
by the time i graduate if i dont do pre calc i would have taken 8 semesters of english, 8 social science, 10 science, 6 languages and 6 math if i dont take pre calc this year will it effect my admissions chances or what do these standards really mean?</p>

<p>You will have to ask IU admissions because nobody on here can give you a definitive answer. However, I bet it means you have to be enrolled in a math class your senior year unless you have already gotten through pre-cal.</p>

<p>At my school and at many others I know of, Trig is a semester class for seniors. So for us, if we take Trig, it would get us one credit, which yields seven math credits after completing Algebra 9, Geometry, and Advanced Algebra. I guess your school just does it differently. I can see why you would be confused though.</p>
