<p>I, being a sophomore, am in the highest level for my grade, but our school does not even offer calculus until 12th grade....is this uncommon, or are there other people out there that have done the same?</p>
<p>I self studied it in 11th.</p>
<p>Don't ever take CC to be the norm... I had BC this year (my senior year).</p>
<p>Aha! I can beat that.</p>
<p>I took AB this year. We can't take BC unless we're prodigies who take it junior year. Then you can take multivariable senior year. If you take precalc junior year, you can only take AB senior year. Even in smart schools, they pander to the advanced kids.</p>
<p><em>shrug</em> my school had calculus B. it prepared you for the ab exam, and a little more, and if you studied on your own* you could claim you were prepared for the bc exam. i took it senior year, with two juniors and a sophomore (she was v. special) in my class; a few good friend my year took it as juniors, and spent their senior year taking linear algebra and "advanced topics in math", which we decided would be basic diffeq. not everyone here has taken obscenely advanced math by the time they apply, but math is one of the most common "i'm done with my school, so i'm going to go take college courses" subjects, i've found.</p>
<p>*i forgot about this until the night before the exam, looked through a textbook, and snagged a 5. go figure.</p>
<p>I took AB this year. It's the only calculus class my school offers.</p>
<p>My school didn't offer AB or BC when I was there. Our only option was to take Integral/Differential Calc at the local community college, which I did.</p>
<p>And then promptly got a C in 18.01 ;)</p>
<p>Yeah my school only offers AB senior year. There is one kid that's amazingly brilliant and took Calc AB junior year and took classes to prep for the BC exam at a nearby university</p>
<p>At my high school, taking Calc AB, APUSH, and Eng3Honors + another AP science course during junior year is considered the norm for those that are college conscious.</p>
<p>I took AB. Was going to take BC, but I dropped down a level junior year due to illness (read: between 4-7 weeks each year from 8th-10th grade due to mono/mono-like virus/sinus infection).</p>
<p>i took it in 11th, but a few rickoids took it in 7th grade, and scored a 5 on it. now that's amazing.</p>
<p>I self-studied it this year(10th), and am pretty confident i got a 5. My precalc class at school sucks... now... we are doing sequence and series and the teacher is trying to push some crap down our throats about what a limit is ;)</p>
<p>Nopes, I took in in the good old 12th grade, and I'm doing ok now :P</p>
<p>I'd say the norm at MIT is either 11th or 12th grade for BC. Seems more did it in 11th and took AP stats or something in the 12th.</p>
<p>"i took it in 11th, but a few rickoids took it in 7th grade, and scored a 5 on it. now that's amazing."</p>
<p>No, what's amazing is that at CPW, I got a touchdown ran on me by a rickoid! I was playing with all the other future football players (and some present ones) and a kid wearing an RSI t-shirt comes up and asks to play (taller, kind of skinny). We said sure... he takes the opening kickoff, everyone on his team blocked perfect, and he shot up the sideline for the score. Totally unexpected...</p>
<p>Kirbus, that's part of what my son likes about MIT - Rickoids scoring touchdowns!</p>
<p>He took BC senior year - that's the progression at our school and they don't like change much. He got in and is doing fine in his classes.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure that was randy :)</p>
<p>there's a rickoid who is getting recruited by MIT to play volleyball. That's what I love about them. They're very down-to-earth and talented. They're not your stereotypical, static, one-dimensional, introverted geniuses.</p>
<p>i'm taking bc this year (junior) but only one kid has it sophomore year</p>
<p>"i'm pretty sure that was randy"</p>
<p>Asian kid?</p>
<p>i took multivariable calculus in 10th grade...my school doesn't offer bc..</p>
<p>ya he was asian. a lot of the rickoids were asian.</p>
