took algebra in 8th grade...

Applying to College

<p>If you took algebra 1 in the 8th grade( which was Algebra 1A and Algebra 1B, both of which are high school year classes-in one year) does it count toward your final Mathematics years like how colleges ask for 4 years of math, etc. Just wondering!</p>

<p>Yes, it counts.</p>

<p>I took algebra in 7th grade, geometry in 8th grade, and those together count as two of my four years. However, I went ahead and agreed to take another four years at high school . . . go figure. . .</p>

<p>8th: Algebra 1
9th: Geometry
10th: Algrebra 2
11th: Pre-Calc
12th: Calc</p>

<p>This is how a traditional math schedule should be like. So people are one year behind and some are one year ahead. You should take math all of your high school years</p>

<p>Never heard of Algebra 1A or 1B. My school just has Algebra 1.</p>

<p>The traditional math schedule in TX, if you are not accelerated or one year behind is..</p>

<p>9th: Algebra I
10th: Geometry
11th: Algebra II
12th: Pre-Calc</p>

<p>Needless to say, if you were not accelerated in middle school, you will never be able to take Calc, unless you decide to do some summer school classes.</p>

<p>What if you're a year ahead of what made in China said; 12th grade MVC/Linear Algebra/ Diff. Eq'ns. That looks even better, right?</p>

6

<p>"8th: Algebra 1
9th: Geometry
10th: Algrebra 2
11th: Pre-Calc
12th: Calc"</p>

<p>See that was my plan up until 11th Grade. Someone apparently didn't think I could handle PreCalc much less Calc so now as a senior I'm in Trig...</p>

<p>newyorker that's not really that impressive
i'm taking multivariable calc this year as a senior but if u check out the number of sophomores who took calc BC nationwide u will be shocked at how many there are. So it's a little boost but nothing too major.</p>

8

<p>thanks guys i was worried I was a year short!</p>

9

<p>deleted .......</p>

10

<p>wutchu talking bout ur like 3 years short lol</p>

<p>I took algebra in 8th also and i got a C!!! ewwwwwww</p>

11

<p>7th algebra
8th geometry
9th trig
10th intro to calc
11th calc 1
12th calc 2</p>

<p>if i dont fill in that i took algebra and geometry in high school, you know, where in the app it asks you to check off which years you took math courses, do they assume you took them?</p>

12

<p>I took Algebra in 7th too, Geometry in 8th. My high school wouldn't accept it for graduation requirements, but colleges will probably take it.</p>

13

<p>3 years short? what?</p>

14

<p>ur in trig as a senior so u missed pre-calc and calculus...so maybe thats only 2 years haha im slow too...and i suck at math</p>

15

<p>at my school we did trig and pre-cal in one year (one semester each). so that would only put dina one year behind hehe.</p>

16

<p>NY State = weird</p>

<p>7th grade + 1/2 8th grade- Math A Regents
1/2 8th + 9th- Sequential III Regents
10th- Pre IB/ precalc
11th- IB Methods SL
12th- bc calc, ap stat</p>

<p>this is 7 years of math</p>

17

<p>Oh yeah and my friend from Korea took Calculus in 8th grade. He's in my AP Calc class, and he just sleeps because he's so bored.</p>

18

<p>Yeah, at my school there was an eighth grader in BC Calc last year. She's been taking AP classes since sixth grade, though.</p>

19

<p>there are gazillions of people "accelerated" in math.</p>

<p>No one is accelerated in science or history.</p>

20

<p>^^^Math is sequential, whereas science and history can be taken in pretty much any order, so the only way to be accelerated in science or history is to take a more difficult version of the same subject.</p>

<p>The girl I mentioned above took AP Physics in the sixth grade and scored a 5 on the test.</p>
