Which Class Will Give Me A Better Chance?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi! This isn't really a chance-me question, but a question on what class will improve my chances:</p>

<p>I'm a senior, heading into the last half of senior year. I'm finishing up Algebra II with an A, and I was planning on taking Consumer Math for the last half of the year - it seems like a useful class and I know I can get an A in it easily.</p>

<p>However, my teacher told me that, if I was interested, he was going to reccommend that I take Pre-Calc B, skipping Pre-Calc A because he didn't think I needed it.</p>

<p>Which would be better - taking CM and getting an A, or skipping Pre-Calc A, taking Pre-Calc B, and getting a B?</p>

<p>How about getting an A in Pre Calc B?</p>

<p>I suggest Precalc B because many elite colleges don’t teach any math below basic calculus.
If, you plan on taking Math in college, take Precalc B.</p>

<p>If you are going to be an art major or something similar, take Consumer Math. </p>

<p>Many colleges don’t really care about senior grades anyway.</p>

<p>Take The best Pre-Calc class so you can be ready for college Calculus Class. The pre-calc B will prepare you the most for the higher level math you will face and help you do better in college.</p>

<p>I’m planning on majoring in either theatre, education, or anthropology - none of which really stress math.</p>

<p>I think I’m going to take the Pre-Calc class just to see if I can do it.</p>

<p>Well given that you are a senior and your are in Algebra II and not AB Calculus or BC or I even know a lot of kids taking diffy Q and linear algebra, it is safe to say you’re not looking at schools anywhere near the Ivies. If you are. Im sorry, but you better be a world class artists, musician, humanitarian etc. Now if you are looking at tier 3 schools (ish) then it probably won’t matter which you take. Here’s the best advice: follow your passion. Don’t take a class just because it will “look good for college”.</p>
