<p>I’ve noticed that some commenters have noted that the 3-year math requirements in their school systems were structured in a way that if the students completed some/all the standard curriculum courses before high school that they wouldn’t have to take additional math courses. Interesting. </p>
<p>That wouldn’t fly at the high school I attended. Kids who completed algebra/geometry/trig before 9th grade were still expected to fulfill the 3+ year requirement set by my school. They’d just take the next higher level courses in the math sequence to fulfill that requirement. For instance, someone who completed algebra/geometry/trig before 9th grade would need to do the following at a minimum:</p>
<p>9th grade: Pre-calc (With or without Honors)</p>
<p>10th grade: AP Calc AB/BC(In practice students can skip directly to BC calc if approved)</p>
<p>11th grade: Multivariate Calc/Differential Equations</p>
<p>The same was expected in other areas like science(4 years) or for foreign languages(3 years+) if one had prior experience with a given language and the placement exam result made them eligible to be placed in more advanced courses.</p>
