<p>i am debating right now, whether or not to take multivariable calculus at a community college second semester of senior year. its not for getting into college, its just because i like math. on the other hand i really do want to relax the second half of my senior, and i don't want to have to go to class 2-3 days a week for 3 hours each class when my friends are hanging out after school and enjoying their last semester as high school studnets and just having plain old fun. </p>
<p>i really really like math, im taking differentail equations right now and its AWESOME. but I also really really really want to hang out with my friends. Advice?</p>
<p>oh and also, it finishes on may 27, but ap testgin finishes the first two weeks of may. so ill be missing a large majority of the seniro year fun…</p>
<p>Honestly, it doesn’t sound like you want advise. You sound like you want validation. You have obviously made up your mind.</p>
<p>Turning this around, what’s the downside to waiting until next year to take mvcalc? More than likely the credits will be more expensive. If finances are tight this may be a consideration.</p>
<p>@ Batllo read again. The OP is currently taking differential equations at the community college, says it’s awesome, so I’m assuming is getting a decent grade. They are debating a class the second semester once this class is complete. They speak of 2-3 days /week after school. This is obviously in addition to their normal school day.</p>
<p>If they were debating dropping AP Calc, resulting in a Withdrawal/Pass in the class, then I would totally agree. If the OPs regular schedule is strong I don’t think it’s slacking.</p>
<p>Ignore the above comment on slacking. If you are thinking of taking multivariable calculus that means you have already taken calculus, probably the highest level of math provided by your high school. It does not look like slacking if you do not take math senior year if you have already completed through calculus and in your case you are already taking differential equations. No harm in not taking a community college course. What will potentially harm you is if you slack off in your high school classes and grades drop, in which case you could face the risk of having your admission to a college rescinded. Only real issue is whether you plan to continue with higher level math in college. Having no math second semester means you will go about 9 months without taking math before beginning college and that means you are likely going to have to do some “memory” review late summer before beginning a math in college.</p>
