<p>So I'm currently in Pre Calculus Honors with 6 AP classes. I have all A's..and a C in my only honors class-pre calc. I'm not great at math so I have the option of switching into Trig Honors. I get the same GPA credit and would still be able to go into AP Calculus next year but it's just a much easier class ts pretty much a joke. Should I do it even though it will look like I'm not taking the "hardest" schedule possible? Is it worth the A as opposed to a C in Pre Calc?</p>
<p>HELPP</p>
<p>anyyone? i wanna take care if this issues asap but i wanna see what my peers think about wht i should do</p>
<p>Sounds like me. I was never a math person either. </p>
<p>I would switch immediately. Forget the toughest courseload thing. With 6 AP courses you have more than enough. But getting a C when you can get an A would be a disastrous choice. Switch first thing tomorrow. You’ll be happier.</p>
<p>^I agree. Do what’s in your best interest:)</p>
<p>Pick trig pick trig.</p>
<p>is this going to affect how well i do in AP calc? will it affect how well i do on SAT’s due to lack of learned skills in pre calc?</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>is this going to look bad that i took trig instead of pre calc when applying to top tier colleges including ivies.</p>
<p>bumpbumpbump. sorry for all the bumping i just need to knwo what i should do and how it will effect me so i can make changes in my schedule asap.</p>
<p>I’d say talk to your counselor AND the calculus teacher on whether it would affect your Calculus skills later on.</p>
<p>If you are getting a C in pre-calc, I’d think hard about whether you want to get into Calculus in the near future. </p>
<p>Just switch. If you’re worried about how trig would look to Ivies, then imagine yourself creating a thread worrying about how a C will look to Ivies. Gulp?</p>
<p>If you can’t even pass Pre-Calc, you probably won’t do well in Calc. But whatever do what you want.</p>
<p>Chill dude. Are you serious? You’re in 6 APS and worrying if switching down from Pre-Caclculus to Trig will hurt you chances. Trigonometry is still a pretty ADVANCED classes. I doubt colleges will even notice and you will be a lot HAPPIER and LEARN MORE!</p>
<p>I don’t know I feel like it can be bad to the above poster. all the kids who are applying to top tier schools are already in calculus by now (im a junior) and im not.</p>
<p>Taking the easier class now will make AP Calc next year that much more difficult. Just something to keep in mind.</p>
<p>AP Calc doesn’t even use that much precalc (or at least, it hasn’t so far for me). The trig stuff is far more useful.</p>
<p>Pre-calc is really just a rehash of Algebra 2. Try touching up on those skills while getting an A in Trig Honors.</p>
<p>Your school has Pre-Calc and Trig???</p>
<p>So that’s what, 5 years of pre-calc math???</p>
<p>That’s weird…</p>
<p>What would normally come sequentially? What’s part of your pre-calc class that’s not covered in Trig?</p>
<p>our sequence is</p>
<p>algebra, geometry, alg 2, pre calc or trig (trig being lower), AP Calc or Calc Honors</p>
<p>Pre-calc is a refresh of Alg2 which is a trig heavy course (all of quarter three was trig). Is the Trig honors course you plan on taking a far more in depth class? In that case I would go for it. However, if you do not have a strong base in math pre calc gives you that.</p>
