What percentage of 4-year college freshmen are ready for calculus?

<p>I homeschooled my kids. My son finished pre-calc at home. He did Calculus as his math class in college. My daughter who is in college now, has a learning disability that makes math learning much harder for her. She did worse than my son in math on the ACT but better in English and Reading. Anyway, she placed into pre-calc in college. That was not considered a remedial class. There were much lower classes that are considered remedial. Yes, much of the first semester was a repeat for her but she needed the extra practice. Her guidance counselor recommended a certain calc class this semester but I recommended she continue with trig since that calc class is a dead end. Since she is seriously considering economics as a degree, I didn’t think taking a math class that precluded her from ever taking any more math was wise. That not only would have limited her with economics but also with psychology, which she is thinking will be her minor. So she is taking trig now and calculus either in the summer or in the fall. </p>

<p>My third child will probably be in calc or higher in college.</p>
