<p>If a person is taking pre-calc their sophomore year, would that mean they would be able to take AP Calculus their junior year and AP statistics senior year (or vice versa) without being overkill, or would that be too many AP math courses?</p>
<p>why woudl that be overkill? Thats what every intelligent person at my school does. No college is going to say, "boo, you're a horrible person you took TWO AP math classes" most people have two, three, even four social studies AP's why is math any different?</p>
<p>haha not at all, some people in my school decide to take AP calc and AP stat in the same year.</p>
<p>There can never be too much overkill. If you are blessed with the opportunity (<em>cough</em> unlike me <em>cough</em>), then, well, gosh. You're a lucky person. Exploit it to the furthest extent of exploitation possible.</p>
<p>go for it you'll have a blast lol =) and call isnt too hard =) Have Fun =)</p>
<p>that's exactly what i did....i took bc calc last year as a junior and im taking ap stat this year. it's not overkill....as long as you're interested in math and good at it, i really don't see a problem.</p>
<p>that's what I did. There are plenty of people who take calc sophomore year or even as freshmen.</p>
<p>ill be taking both AP calc and AP stats senior year..I'm somewhat worried, but I don't think it will be too bad...(by the way, anybody who has done this...am I wrong?)</p>
<p>i'm taking AP Calc AB junior year and AP Stats next year</p>
<p>How do you end up with that?...Those of us who are smart were given Honors Algebra I in 8th grade, geometry last year as freshmen, and now we're in Honors Algebra II...How do your school systems work? We have Trig./Analytical Geometry next year, and then we have calculus...And how many AP classes does your school offer, and aren't there prerequisites?</p>
<p>I don't think many people take AP Calc then AP stat. Me and my friends are taking AP calc BC right now and are going to take Multivariable Calc/Linear Algebra next year.</p>
<p>i'm takin calc bc and stat concurrently as a junior... it's not overkill... stat is more logic than work</p>
<p>MCZ, I was a little ahead in my math program at my school (one year), so I took geometry in 8th grade, algebra II in 9th...then I moved to a school with block scheduling (90 minute courses, every day; split at the semester mark) so managed to get precalc/calc sophomore year.</p>
<p>It wouldn't have been possible under my old school (but in retrospect, I would've gotten a more thorough education), but it's possible at my new school even without being ahead. There are three freshmen in algebra II now, because they were in geometry last semester. They could in theory take precalc + calc next year.</p>
<p>They'd have to take calc online though, because we don't offer it any more.</p>
<p>I've got freshman friends in pre-calculus...it's easy to work ahead of everyone at my school because EVERYONE does...if that made sense.</p>
<p>And uhh I think we offer 22-24 APs</p>
<p>lol i took stats and calc I in soph year
thats not overkill, more like underkill if you ask me</p>
<p>In my school, the track for the honors students are :
Alg 2 H integrated with geometry and trig, Advance Math H( 1st part of pre-calculus), Pre-Calc(the second part taking in junior year), and AP Calc AB or BC. It is extremely difficult to get into Calculus BC. I don't even know the pre-requisite to do so, but FEW students ever get into the class. If a student is driven enough, she could take math courses outside the school.</p>
<p>Is there a way for anyone to take "Calc online"... and have their school accept that credit.. or how does that work exactly, I've never heard of it. What's the cost?</p>
<p>theonekid, <a href="http://www.uccp.org/%5B/url%5D">http://www.uccp.org/</a> relates to that.</p>
<p>My brother goes to Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ, and he had calculus in high school (not AP), yet they offered an online course over the summer, which he passed, of course, as it was basically everything he did in high school in calculus...Apparently, that's offered to students there for a reduced price, but others need to pay at least $750 to take the online course...</p>
