<p>should i skip precalc and go strait to AP calc AB? im really good at math. also, should i do ap chem without hon chem before? if it is really needed, i can do honors chem online right now or during the summer. again im rly good at math.</p>
<p>don’t skip precalc. You may very well end up in calculus and freak out because your brain hasn’t developed enough yet to get it completely. Also precalc introduces more than just calculus, it sets up the math for a lot of other higher courses. You’re already ahead of the curve by being in alg 2 right now. </p>
<p>You can skip hon chem. AP chem is not much different than regular chem. I took AP Chem first year of chemistry and it went fine. Since you’re super good at math, it’ll be fine for you for sure.</p>
<p>I skipped precalc after my freshman year also, the first month sucks but you’ll be fine after that. Be prepared to do a little extra work sometimes when you’re not as familiar with concepts that are gone over in precalc; I’m in BC now and there’s still areas I’m a little patchy on.</p>
<p>Lol that wouldn’t be an issue…By now he’s in the formal operations stage of development, so he’s set to learn high level math. It’s a matter, now, of having a solid foundation.</p>
That seems misleading, given that the OP is using this advice to contemplate such a major move. Didn’t you keep posting about problems with low grades?</p>
<p>I got it to an A. The low grades were from not doing the work in the online class.</p>
<p>The material in calculus is not hard.</p>
<p>If you’re contemplating going to AB, I think it’s doable. Last time I heard from those who have taken AB, it’s really just limits, derivatives, integrals.</p>
<p>First off, it’s best, as a general rule, to not take advice from the majority of the people on this board on skipping courses. You know your own ability best, and if you think you’re good enough at math to skip precalc, by all means go ahead.</p>
<p>I’m a sophmore taking pre-cal & calculus 2. Right now I have a B in pre-cal <em>fail</em> but a high A in Calculus 2. I took Calculus 1 last semester and got an A too, so you should be fine if you skip pre-calculus.</p>
<p>Idk about skipping chemistry honors though…but thats probably because I’m not a chemistry person.</p>
<p>I don’t know about skipping precal. Calc uses some of the stuff you learn in there, but it doesn’t review it. Having a a solid base in trig is important and some of the extra algebra will challenge, and therefore help you, more than the math in Calc. If anything, skip Calc AB and go straight to BC junior year. BC is basically AB plus a few more chapters pinned onto the end, so you’ll still cover all of the same material. I did that without any problems, so you should be fine if you’re good at math like you say. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Honestly precal was harder–way harder–for me than Calc BC. So yeah, not taking it wouldv’e been nice. And we don’t do much stuff that you need precalc for, honestly. Trig, yes, precalc, no. The trig you need for calc could really easily be reviewed the summer before.</p>
<p>As for chem I’ve no clue; I HATE CHEMISTRY VERY VERY MUCH BECAUSE IT IS EVIL.</p>

<p>Haha, yes. My thought process: skipping classes… on CC? –> How uncharacteristic! –> But it is HSL —> but kid’s sn has nerdy in it –> <em>open thread</em>… shouldv’e guessed… lol.</p>
