Pre-Cal

<p>Do students who take Pre-cal over the summer miss out on a lot???</p>

<p>It probably would have been wiser to skip alg. 2..</p>

<p>It's good to skip either of the beginnig math classes. For algebra 1 though only if you're really smart should you take it in summer. The others not too hard.</p>

<p>the 1st half of pre-cal is a review of algebra 2 and the 2nd half is mainly trig.</p>

<p>Do you think I can learn all that in the summer?</p>

<p>The only thing is, you really need the summer to recharge your batteries before the real school year. Are you a rising junior? Is so, you'll still make it to Calc...</p>

<p>i did pre-cal the summer from freshman to sophomore...i got a B (it was online though, grade inflation is impossible), but i got an A in calc... so ehhh, it was okay, like someone said, its just alg2 review and some trig concepts</p>

<p>is it hard to transition pre cal to ap calc?</p>

<p>honestly, yeah... it was an A i def earned... low A the whole time, but A none the less,lol, i hope BC is cool next year!</p>

<p>do you have any suggestions that would have made it easier? prep book, etc?</p>

<p>idk, lol, i guess do the HW, i wasnt very much of a HW person... i didnt buy a prep book or anything... lol, you should def know all the sin/cos/tan of the common stuff by heart, we werent allowed to use calculators sometimes :(</p>

<p>Although I haven't done it I would say that the going from precalc to Calc is kind of big. Pre Calc is pretty easy. And then you go to like antiderivatives and integrals etc.</p>
