I am planning to take both AP Stats and Pre-Calc eventually but I was wondering if there was one I should take first, for example, AP Stats being confusing without knowledge of Pre-Calc or the other way around.
Take pre-calc, I assume you mean for junior year. Pre-calc followed by AP Calc is more rigorous than Pre-calc and AP Stats. If you are targeting selective to highly selective colleges and/or a STEM or business major go with the rigor.
Take precalculus first. That will keep open the option to take calculus the year after.
I agree, absolutely pre-Calc.
I took PreCalc and AP Stats concurrently. You do not need any PreCalc for stats, only algebra. Though, if you have to choose one or the other, don’t interrupt your math track for stats. Stats doesn’t build like precalc does, and you might get confused waiting a year to take precalc.
