<p>If you are in calculus in 10th grade or less or have taken or skipped calculus prior to 10th grade, enter the thread!</p>
<p>Otherwise... well ... who cares! Enter the thread and make witty comments!
This is the less selective parallel of the "UberExclusive 2300+ SAT club." Screw the SAT scores! Let's ramble on about our mathematics courses, our achievements, and even mathematics itself!</p>
<p>Math power!</p>
<p>im a calculus</p>
<p>I bet you ARE a calculus. Possibly descrete calculus?</p>
<p>Too bad my school frowns upon skipping math classes yet there are two sophomores right now in it…</p>
<p>~Am I worthy to speak
<p>Wecome anyway! I didn’t mean the SATs were pointless, just not the primary subject of the forum. Shall we discuss the relationships between trig and hyperbolic functions?</p>
<p>//cos x = cosh ix, for example.
//Also, a mathematician who has a bad proficiancy in language is only half of a mathematician. Mathematics is half communication.</p>
<p>One more good point to make: skipping math courses that feel greatly unfulfilling is okay.
I favor the fact that your school dislikes course skipping; many skip only for the sake of looking smart, and, as you have probably seen, this hurts them in the long run.</p>
<p>Would this action still seem bad if the person doing the skipping is years ahead of his or her peers and feels quite unchallenged and therefore bored?</p>
<p>In fourth grade I self-studied and could understand algebra. Math courses from then onward felt repetitive. In eighth grade I took Algebra I and was bored to tears. I decided to learn calculus and had good results (that is, I knew the theory and how to do most problems.) Now in tenth grade, I take calculus and STILL feel years ahead of everyone. Consider this: I did not BS my way there; not only did I know how to do the problems, but also, most importantly, I knew the proofs to the theorems that were required to solve the problems. The sophmores whom you smashed probably skipped to look smart and lost the essence of mathematics in the process. I, as you are aware, am not perfect. <sigh> I have a 99 for a yearly average in calculus.</sigh></p>
<p>That was a mouthful.
I am sorry for my arrogance. (Yes, there are multiple spelling errors.)</p>
<p>Glad to be accepted. I’m arrogant sometimes too.</p>
<p>What does this have to do with AP Test preparation?</p>
<p>Did the “UberExclusive 2300+ SAT club” have anything to do with SAT preparation?
No, I don’t think so.</p>
<p>I’m in Pre-Calc right now, but I’m gonna be in Calc AB sophomore year. How do you think I’ll do? I got a 100 in Pre-Calc 
but the teacher makes the class easy.</p>
<p>Hundred for sure (that is, if you study)! Just wish your calculus teacher will actually go in depth with theorems, notation, and theory, as college mathematics stresses these FAR MORE than typical high school mathematics courses.</p>
<p>Is this truly the “less selective analogue to the ‘Uberexclusive 2300+ SAT club?’” Post what y’all think. I guess I should convert this to a poll, judging on the number of members in this thread.</p>
<p>//The poll would ask, “Which is easier, getting in AP Calculus during or before Sophomore year or having an SAT above or at 2300 by the end of high school?”
//I need 270 more points on the SAT to have that. And - ironically - I have an SAT math subscore of 750.
//Trollololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol</p>
<p>I will be in AP Calc BC next year as a sophomore. How hard is in compared to precal?</p>
<p>As hard as your mind will allow you to comprehend. </p>
<p>I LIED!
If you just understand the underlying concepts of the lessons, calculus should be a breaze.</p>
<p>Back to the surface, dear thread.</p>
<p>I heard our AP Calc teacher is very drilling.</p>
<p>Before I go on, let me explain that our Calc class is 2 semesters in a block schedule, the first semester actually being an Honors class called Differential Calculus H, then the second semester being the actual AP Calculus AB. So it’s just 2 classes that go together.</p>
<p>Anyway, apparently our teacher teaches all the material the first semester, then gives a HUGE packet the second semester that everyone has to do at home, while reviewing everything during class all the way to the AP exam.
I’ve seen the packet. It’s pretty intense.</p>
<p>I’m 15 and I am in AP Calc. I begged my school to allow me to take it. I go to failing high school in a middle of nowhere red state where education is low priority. I am actually owning all the seniors in that class and I am strangely the only person taking the Calc AP test. I am not smart or rich enough to be in the 2300+ SAT club. I hope I will someday.</p>
<p>^my dad is saying he’ll disown me if I don’t get at least a 1550 (excluding writing, of course), which is funny because my valedictorian sister got only around a 1500.</p>
<p>I started Calc BC when I was 14. I’m taking Multivariable Calculus next year, which will be extremely painful.</p>
<p>^dang, man, what else are you taking? Are you even in high school yet?</p>
<p>Secoja: I got a 1500 too.</p>
