What to do after BC Calculus...?

<p>I am taking that test Wednesday as a junior. If college classes are out of the question (finances), what options are available? I'm thinking self-studying Multivariable Calculus. Is there a Cal III Clep test or something?</p>

<p>Multivariable Calculus. Or you could do EPGY, but that’s also expensive (800 bucks a course -_-)</p>

<p>It’s surprising that your school doesn’t offer any post-BC courses though. Maybe my school district is just that awesome, but every school around mine has Multivariable.</p>

<p>MV Calc, Linear Algebra, Differential equations.</p>

<p>Calc bc again lol</p>

<p>I did MVC. A guy I know did MVC and Linnie. But most people I know hadn’t done physics yet, so they took that. It’s pretty mathy. And hard. Eurgh.</p>

<p>wow. maybe AP stats for the college credit?</p>

<p>In my district, the majority (85% of kids) take the normal path and take trig/pre-calc senior year. Advanced (86th to 98th percentiles ME!) take an accelerated path and end up at Calc AB. The top percentile takes super accelerated and end up at Calc BC.</p>

<p>anyway, your district is weird, but I would say take AP stats and take the college credit.</p>

<p>lol depends on your love of math and what you want to do later. I would take MVC or Linnie. To me, both are easy, and I’m just a sophomore.</p>

<p>physics c. it uses tons of calc</p>

<p>I’m also in your position (taking calc BC as a junior). I decided to take stats AP next year, since my high school doesn’t offer MVC. The local college here does offer MVC, but I’d have to drive there at seven and sit for a three hour class. I’m not a math person, so I skipped out on that option, but you might try looking at local colleges.</p>

<p>I would ask your school to see if they will pay for an online course. I’m in the same situation as you and my school is paying for my course in MVC and DiffEq next year. They have a rule that if they can’t meet your needs for a class, they have to somehow find a way to supply one. Maybe your school has a similar rule?</p>

<p>Do EPGY Multivariable.</p>

<p>Or be lazy like me and take Stats :slight_smile: (Well after MVC)</p>

<p>You get to take study hall and slack as a reward.</p>

<p>I don’t know, that’s kinda my option since I took IB bio and the only chem class offered and dual credit physics over the summer. There really isn’t any other science to take at school and nothing else I could do so they gave me “student leadership” which is really a student assistant to a teacher which is really just absolutely nothing but a 100 for doing nothing and talking with my english teacher about jokes and just skipping around or sleeping in bit.</p>

<p>It is funny though since everyone else has pre-ap physics and someone’ll ask “Did anyone do the physics work???” and I’ll be like “yeah, I did…” and they’ll be so happy and then just annoyed. I do go to the physics class sometimes (because I love that teacher) and I’ll just goof around or grade or answer questions to annoy my friends.</p>

<p>Get a slacker class so you can work on college apps and be less stressed. It’ll help out a lot. I mean, stats is cool if you want but it’s not all that important really. It’s not gonna be any big of a difference in college apps if that’s what you’re looking for. They’re not gonna say “gasp, no math senior year!!! rejected!” or anything lame like that. If you really like stats, which is really boring, go for it. Self studying is fine too if you just like math that much but you could do that during the slacker class.</p>

<p>I will be taking AP Stats.</p>

<p>AP Statistics.</p>

<p>Or Multivariable Calc. (I did the latter at a local college :D)</p>

<p>I’ll be taking MVC at my school and Lin Algebra/Diff Eq at a CC.</p>

<p>My school would offer these students a class called Topics in Higher Math where they would go into multivariable calculus and vector geometry as taught by a college professor that came in every day.</p>

<p>The majority of the honors people in our school end up at AP stat/Math topics (multivariable calc) and finish AB/BC calc junior year</p>

<p>or if you want to re-tune your single-variable calc skills>>> read APOSTOL’s Calculus volume 1.
Then you’ll be a single-variable calculus expert. :)</p>
