<p>Ok so i took pre-calc as a freshman, and i was fairly proud of my math skills and thought my self to be pretty good at math. Then i saw some freshmen in my school who took pre-calc as 8th graders, so i was slightly unnerved. But listen to this, it take the cake. A 10 YEAR OLD IN MY SCHOOL TAKING PRE-CALC. Kinda funny to see a little kid like 4'5 in a high school of 3000. Wow now i see some are just truly very talented at math. Anyone else have cases like this in thier high school?</p>
<p>OMG...No, I haven't ever seen this at my school...then again, I live in Tennessee...so it's not really a surprise.</p>
<p>WOAH a ten year old taking pre-calc and in high school?!?! That kinda reminds me of this old show called "Smart Guy" that was on in the 90's. It was like a ten year old kid going to high school. Anyways, you should still be super proud of yourself for taking precalc as a frosh, that is pretty rare. (Despite the two kids taking it at a younger age in your school...) Plus, it'll look great on college apps.</p>
<p>Best I've ever seen is someone taking algebra II freshman year. </p>
<p>That's crazy.</p>
<p>I knew a five-year-old who took Algebra I and got an A.</p>
<p>But then she had to retake it several times later because Algebra I kept being the highest course offered at whatever school she was at...so she ended up taking precalc eight years later.</p>
<p>These kids these days and their math...</p>
<p>I don't think I've ever met anyone with superior mathematical capabilities in hih school (older or younger), but college might be a different story (although I haven't seen 10 year olds there yet).</p>
<p>Ha so i told 4 of my friends who also took pre-calc as freshman about the 10 year old, and they were so flabbergasted. My friends kept joking we are so behind in math etc. Then the kid who took pre-cal in 8th grade got so mad and tried to prove that it was not that great to take pre-cal as a 10 year old etc. It was hilarious.</p>
<p>Eh. That completely dwarfs my testing out as an incoming sophomore (14 years). My ego has been deflated. Well, partially.</p>
<p>The kid across the street from me was doing calculus before he finished elementary school. Being so advanced isn't good though. From what I hear (I have a few friends in his school) it's almost like he's sexually confused.</p>
<p>did you hear about the toddler who aced math 55 at Stanford. Ridiculous!!!.....</p>
<p>Ps: for all of you naive people out there: the above statement is an exagerration.</p>
<p>^ Note to self: When exaggerating, MIT sounds better than Stanford.</p>
<p>yes it definitely does....</p>
<p>And when exactly do you use math in your life?</p>
<p>all the time..............</p>
<p>Yeah the kid is like a genius but he must be weird. Oh yeah, just to be clear he is not in high school, he just comes to high school for pre-calc. I wonder if he writes on his test papers with gel pens or crayons lol!</p>
<p>My English teacher corrects tests with gel pens. She does it because she hates using red pens on tests because it makes possible mistakes look worse than they really are. Or something like that.</p>
<p>Yeah see thats cool cos the actual materail is not in gel pen just corrections. I remeber when i was in 5th grade kids tried to write their whole essays in bright hard to read gel pens, i wonder if this kid will say things like that and trie to show off his gel pen collection to the other kids.</p>
<p>My teachers strictly ban gel pens. It's pretty funny. One girl tried to hand in an essay that was written in bright pink ink, and the teacher just put a big X on the paper and handed it back.</p>
<p>CT took BC as a frosh.</p>
