<p>Hi, I'm a sophomore who has taken algebra 1, hon. geometry, and most of algebra 2. I remember getting B's in algebra 1 after moving to Ohio, but I got really interested in math about a year ago.</p>
<p>I am taking precalc next year and from what I've heard, two topics are heavily integrated into the class. Students who excel at precalc (which I heard isn't too hard) are prepared to take Calc BC the following year. With that being said, the first semester deals with limits and derivatives, which I know are calc topics (I'm familiar with the former). The other big topic is trigonometry.</p>
<p>I did well in hon. geometry and algebra 2 is really easy. Right now I'm finishing AOPS 1 and starting AOPS2, competitive math books (more info can be found at <a href="http://www.artofproblemsolving.com%5B/url%5D">http://www.artofproblemsolving.com</a>) that has taught me a lot about solving problems and not making dumb mistakes. </p>
<p>Over this summer, I'll be covering trig in-depth (I know basic right-angle trig ~ sohcahtoa) to help me prepare for math contests but also for the IIC. Could those of you who have taken the test give me insight on the type of problems likely to appear (trig laws, thier graphs and functions). Will limits/derivatives appear? Is trigonometry coupled with a good understanding of pre-precalc math classes all I need for an 800?</p>
