<p>I am currently a sophomore in high school with a decent schedule. I am taking AP Biology, AP World History, Honors English, Honors Geometry, Spanish 3, and Honors Trig/Precalculus. </p>
<p>I decided to double up in math because I knew that a group of other sophomores at my school were doubling up, but now I am thinking about dropping Honors Trig/Precalculus. If I drop the class, I can still reach AP Calculus BC by senior year. </p>
<p>I am thinking about dropping the class because I know that math is not my strength. I had a good grade in Honors Algebra 2 last year, but I am afraid that my grades will suffer if I double up in math this year. I am afraid that I will have less time to study for my other courses, and I am worried that I might not develop the best math skills I need to enter AP Calculus BC next year. However, I am also worried that if I drop Honors Trig, I might be "behind" my peers in the math department. </p>
<p>Will taking AP Calculus BC in my junior year look better for college? Will waiting until senior year affect my chances of getting into a competitive college? (I am not quite sure what I would like to major in, but I am looking into the medical field)</p>
<p>Honestly, if you’re worried about your grades, I would switch out of Trig/Precalc. You’re taking a lot of other high leveled classes this year too, and if you legitimately believe that a second math class could get in the way of you doing great, it isn’t worth the risk. Taking BC senior year would probably be fine.</p>
<p>Most schools only offer up to AP Calc BC anyway, and since you’re still on track to take that your senior year, I’d say you’re fine :)</p>
<p>Hi again. I have not quite decided what to do yet, but I will stick around for chapter 1 and see how it goes. My counselor said I can drop the class without any consequences until the 2nd marking period. </p>
<p>The only reason that I am still trying to decide whether or not to drop trig is because I know that other sophomores are taking it, and since it is a weighted class, my class rank might go down if I do not take it.</p>
<p>Class rank really isn’t that big of a deal tbh.</p>
<p>As a general question, wouldn’t you take Algebra 2 before Precalc</p>
<p>I would drop precalc. Precalc builds off of both geometry and algebra 2, so if you haven’t had both yet, it’ll be a struggle.</p>
<p>Yes you would take Algebra 2 before Precalc. I took Algebra 2 last year</p>
