Should I skip PreCalc and start Calculus right away?

<p>Hi, so I am currently a sophomore who's one year ahead in math. I took algebra 1 in 8th grade, geometry in 9th, and am currently enrolled in an alg2/trig class. In this path, I would be set to take AP Prep Pre-Calc next year. For those of you who have taken this class, do you think it's a good idea to take this class outside and jump right into AP Calculus next year? I think I am pretty good at math, but understanding it well is really important to me, and I don't want to miss any important concepts either. </p>

<p>Thanks for the help and suggestions, really appreciate it. 😃</p>

<p>It depends on your grasp on concepts in Pre-Calc, and comfort level with the material. Like “mathematical maturity” so to speak. What’s your proposed benefit other than getting Calculus done earlier?</p>

<p>I wanted to take AP Statistics, but don’t have room in my schedule. Also, I see many people on this site who did calculus sophomore year? How is that even possible?</p>

 Nothing is exactly normal here. There are people here who’ve taken Calculus Freshman year. All in all, if you want to forgo Pre-Calc and take AP Calc, feel free. AP Stats really isn’t that much of a difficult class.</p>
