<p>Is it worth taking Multivariable Calc in HS. At the rate I am going, I will have to take it Junior or Senior year, if I don't I will be left with no math for Senior year.</p>
<p>I was going to, but my math teacher told us we shouldn't. She said because you are forced to retake it in college anyways taking it in HS would not benefit you. Is this true, does anyone know if Purdue makes you retake it?</p>
<p>If I don't what should I do for senior year? Just no math?</p>
<p>I’d recommend taking it junior year and then taking more advanced math classes at a local college. These credits might transfer.
Unless you don’t like math and are just trying to make sure your schedule is rigorous.</p>
<p>If you learn it in high school it will be easier taking it in college.</p>
<p>If you don’t mind taking maths, then I’d definitely take it. There are certainly several universities in the US that will let you test out of it, and if you end up at one that doesn’t, then it will be easier to have taken it in high school</p>
<p>most students don’t take it, but you should take 4 years of math if you’ve run out of classes. you probably will have to take it again in college, but taking it in hs does look nicer for admissions and does make it easier in college</p>
<p>I am taking it currently, as a senior, and think it is beneficial. Of course, I have to retake it in undergrad, so it is only useful for admissions and personal knowledge.</p>
<p>Is it possible for you to take linear algebra or differential equations? If so, then take multivariate junior year (way ahead of da pack) and take one of those senior year.</p>
<p>The highest they go is multivariable, I guess Ill take it Jr. year (I heard it is rather easy, at least at my school). I’ll also look at doing other stuff, I have 7 open spaces in my schedule which is about 3.5 full year classes so If I shift stuff to Jr. year (easier stuff), ill have more time to double up. When you say local university, does that mean like community college like Ivy Tech or even something like IUPUI (live 30 minutes from)</p>
<p>I took it in HS at a 2 year college, it transferred and let me skip the class, though I stayed in-state and it was a guaranteed transfer. If you ask Purdue they might know if it transfers. Or you could check on the internet. This site looks promising: <a href=“https://selfservice.mypurdue.purdue.edu/prod/bzwtxcrd.p_select_info[/url]”>https://selfservice.mypurdue.purdue.edu/prod/bzwtxcrd.p_select_info</a></p>
<p>Edit: if this is a class taught by your high school, and not a college class, the site won’t help. If it doesn’t transfer it won’t hurt, it’ll look good for colleges and you’ll have learned some of the material already.</p>
<p>And I think local university refers to either. community college might not have tough enough classes, making IUPUI the closest one.</p>
