<p>this is just one huge ego-boost thread.</p>
<p>There's a sophomore at our school taking AP Calculus.</p>
<p>A <em>sophomore</em>! Urgh! </p>
<p>But she was homeschooled.</p>
<p>7th grade-Pre Algebra
8th-Algebra
9th-Geometry
10th-Algebra II
11th-Trig/PreCal
12th-(I most-likely will be taking) Calc/AP Calc</p>
<p>7th- pre-algebra
8th- algebra I
9th- geometry
summer of 9th- alg. 2 & trig
10th- precalc
11th- ap stat
12th- ap calc bc</p>
<p>7th - I might have taken accelerated math. I can't remember if it was different or not.
8th - Algebra I Honors
9th - Geometry Honors
10th - Algebra II Honors (I had a HORRIBLE teacher; I learned nothing)
11th - Trig/Precalc Honors
12th - AP Calc AB (I currently have a grand total of 41% in this class. Go me!) </p>
<p>I hate math. I don't know why I took a fifth year. Masochism.</p>
<p>6th grade - Regular Math
7th grade - Pre-Algebra Honors
8th grade - Algebra I Honors
9th grade - Geometry Honors
10th grade - Accelerated Algebra II / Pre-Calculus Honors
11th grade - AP Calculus BC (skipped AB)</p>
<ul>
<li>left high school after 11th grade.</li>
</ul>
<p>6th Grade: Just came to US, 2 months left in school year, Teacher forced me to transfer to Math B (which was higher)
7th Grade: Algebra
8th Grade: Geometry
9th Grade: Currently doing AAF (IB Equivalent of Algebra II)
I'll either be taking IB Pre-Calc or IB Math Studies (Math Studies is a tad lower than IB Pre-Calc) in 10th.</p>
<p>I feel sorry for those who have to take a year of Algebra II(8), a year of Pre-Calculus(9), a year of AP Calculus AB (10), a year of AP Calculus BC (11), and a year of AP Statistics (12). So far ahead in the beginning, and then they lose their edge by the time they enter college. </p>
<p>Pre-Calculus: review of Algebra II
And then AP Statistics and AP Calc BC aren't worth full years.</p>
<p>(and it's the standard curriculum for those at Garfield High School in Seattle, if they don't get EPGY courses). A LOT of people at Garfield take Calculus in 10th grade, yet they aren't that brilliant in math. It doesn't seem as prevalent as I originally thought though. Still, a lot of people have wasted time on BC after AB + Pre-Calc after Algebra II.</p>
<p>(and no, I didn't go to Garfield - I just know a lot of people there from an early entrance program).</p>
<p>The other problem is that even though EPGY is a good alternative, it splits multivariable calculus into two, even though those chapters are only a few more in a single textbook.</p>
<p>Exactly, and that's why Im taking MVC/LA/DE as an integrated sequence because my school was too lazy to put me in MVC at the local community college this year. However, I should be finished by June, which means I will have several options for next year. The only problem is...I was considering real/complex analysis but I don't know any nearby schools that offer it.</p>
<p>Wow, some of you guys are crazy. :D I'd like to PM a few of you about some things. I hope you don't mind.</p>
<p>8th algebra 1
9th geometry
summer algebra 2
10th pre cal
11th calc bc
12th multivariable/linear algebra</p>
<p>7th algebra 1
8th geometry
9th advanced algebra w/ trig
10th pre calc
11th AP Calc BC
12th AP Stats (this is a total waste of a year)</p>
<p>7- Algebra I (we didn't have Honors/Regulars)
8- Geometry (ditto)
9- Honors Algebra II/Trig
10- Honors Geometry (grade school class wasn't proof-intensive enough, plus instead of a placement exam the teacher just gave me the final from the previous year, which having never had a class with her I had no idea how to take)
11- Honors Precal
12- AP Calc BC (chose not to take AP Stat because the teacher gives an amount of work disproportionate to the difficulty of Stat)</p>
<p>7th - PreAlgebra
8th - Algebra 1
9th - Geometry Honors
Algebra 2 Honors
-- projected --
10th- Precalculus Honors
11th- Calculus AB AP
Calculus BC AP
12th- Calculus 3</p>
<p>6th - worthless class
7th - worthless class
8th - semi-worthless class; +1 year ahead
9th - advanced geometry and advanced algebra 2; +2 years ahead
10th - advanced worthless class; +2 years ahead
11th - Calc AB (self-study BC); +2 years ahead
12th (projected) - Calc III/Linear Algebra and Advanced Geometry (really advanced, not the freshman class all over again)/Advanced Math Concepts (or something like that); +3-4 years ahead</p>
<p>I'm sure I could have handled Algebra I in 6th grade, instead of learning 12 * 11 = 132 all over again. I wasn't allowed to skip that worthless class my sophomore year... but I guess it solidified my knowledge of conic sections.</p>
<p>7th: Pre-Algebra
8th: Algebra
9th: Geometry
10th: Algebra 2
11th: Trig/Precalculus
12th: Calc AB</p>
<p>6 ~ 8: stupid worthless foreign taiwanese math classes that my school doesn't recognize.</p>
<p>9: Alg 1
10: Geometry
11: Alg 2
12: Precalc/Trig</p>

<p>Two things you said are strange. First that AP Calc BC is not worth a year. It IS worth a year. There's so much to learn. </p>
<p>And you were right when you said that MANY people take advanced math classes ALTHOUGH they AREN'T PREPARED FOR IT. Just thanks for saying that.</p>
<p>What is AP Calc BC, exactly? Is it basically multivariable calculus?</p>
<p>Multivariable Calculus typically comes after AP Calculus BC. You can find the BC course description [url=<a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/sub_calbc.html?calcbc%5Dhere%5B/url">http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/sub_calbc.html?calcbc]here[/url</a>].</p>
