<p>Back in my Middle School during the school year of 2010-2011, 6th grade for me, a couple of students, including me, took a test to start the High School math courses, for the next year. I passed and took Algebra I in 7th grade and so forth. I am now in my Sophomore year taking Pre-Calculus, and I have very few pleasant things to say about it (It's not even Calculus, it's just unnecessarily convoluted trigonometry). Since this would count as my fourth math credit, and the minimum math credits to graduate High School is four, I could technically not take any Math Classes for the rest of High School, and perhaps take classes that are not only more suited to the career I'm pursuing, but would help my GPA. However, a decent GPA means nothing if the colleges don't appreciate your choices. So I'm asking how it would look to a college if I didn't take any Math classes Junior or Senior year.</p>
<p>You should continue to take math classes. It doesn’t look good if you don’t take any your junior and senior years, especially if your school offers more. Plus, it would be hard to remember stuff you learned three years back your freshman year of college.</p>
<p>Since you tested into a fast track for math back in middle school, it’d look downright odd if not lazy if you didn’t take calculus (in any version: Calculus Honors or AB if you don’t want the intensity of BC) junior year.
What do you want to major in?
If you plan on majoring in STEM, you’ll be expected to take math and science classes every year and go as far as your school will let you +, for top programs, history/social science, a foreign language, and English/Humanities every year + involvement in science projects or research + classes you find fun.</p>
<p>You definitely should keep taking the 4 cores through high school even if you have the required credits for HS graduation.</p>
<p>For example, I only NEED two science credits to graduate, but I’m going to end up with six. </p>
<p>The main purpose for taking an accelerated Math track is for you to achieve a higher level by the end of HS, not simply to fulfill the graduation requirement earlier. Otherwise, it does you no good at the end.</p>
<p>Alright, then. I guess I’ll put up with it. Hopefully, regular Calculus won’t be as obnoxious.</p>
