<p>I am in Math Analysis right now. It's like precalc/calc. I want to do Calc 2 at a community college, but for that I would have to take the exam for Calc 1. I am trying to learn the material in 2 months because that is all the time I have. Do you think I could pass? Is this a good idea or should I just wait a while.</p>
<p>Is it really worth taking and paying for college classes now. Or Like should you just wait until college?</p>
<p>IMPORTANT Do you have to pay more money if you take more than 15 credits a semester in college? Like if you take 23 is there a certain amount you have to pay? PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION THANKS Thanks.</p>
<p>Also if I did this then I would be able to take like 2 more college Math classes during the summer. I am probable going to minor in math. </p>
<p>Or I could just wait until summer to take Calc 2. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>I see nothing wrong with taking math classes at a CC while in high school... I'm taking calc II & III at a CC this year myself.</p>
<p>I would recommend that you take calc I if you haven't already taken AP Calc or similar. I taught myself almost all of Calc I and even a good portion of the other two semesters before even taking AP Calc, but nevertheless I think taking the first course was beneficial for me.</p>
<p>Most of your questions about units etc. vary from college to college.</p>
<p>Yes go ahead and take your calculus courses at the local community college. I wish I had done this instead of taking calculus at my current school where I'm learning in a large lecture hall class and help is not as easily available. At the local CC, I would've been able to take it in a much smaller setting and would've been able to use the CC's resources esp. since CC's tend to not accomodate a staggering amount of students compared to my current university and I believe I would've learned the material better in that setting. (I'm sorry but I'm partially venting...)</p>
<p>I think you should talk to your guidance counselor too if there is a dual-enrollment program that'll allow you to take CC classes for a reduced fee or no charge at all (it is the case in some states). </p>
<p>If you're worried about whether or not the courses will transfer in the future, I would consult the policies at your choice universities/colleges. If you are taking CC classes instead of AP courses I would go with AP though cuz it'll most likely transfer but this, of course, depends on the university (in regards to CC credit). </p>
<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>I answered that for you in the financial aid thread, already! </p>
<p>Gosh:)</p>
<p>You have to ask the Financial Aid person at your Community College if one is charged more for taking more than six classes...or 18 credits...credits might be called units where you live. </p>
<p>Uh:)</p>
<p>I think that it is a good idea to go as far as you want with your math. Math is very cut and dry, so do not worry really hard about it transferring. I am not trying to insult "math", I am just saying that Calculus and the like is more or less the same is all.</p>
<p>However:)</p>
<p>Save the schedule of assignments and syllabus as well as the contact information of the ,Instructor as well as the Head of the Math Department if you wind up having to contest the fact that it won't transfer. But, the odds of College level math classes not transferring are kinda slim.</p>
<p>Now:)</p>
<p>Relax. And ask the Financial Aid person about your situation. Ask a real live professional, not a student worker. Maybe get a Schwams, maybe Schaums, (SP!? Who, Me?!) outline or something for catch up and what have you.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any cons about this? The only ones that I could think of are studying more.</p>
