Precalcus and YOU!

[karinka13]

I'm taking a survey, so if anyone wants to help me out please reply:

What grade were you in when you took Precalc (if you took it)? Does your school have block scheduling?

Thanks all!

I took precal in the 10th grade at my school, Gulfport High, and now I am in calculus. I took it a year early. And yes, at Gulfport High we are on the block schedule. The best way I could describe precal is algebra 3, and also its only a 9 weeks course at our school.

I took pre-calc as a junior. No block scheduling where I go.

My school is not on block scheduling. I never took Pre-Calc, because my school had the nerve to schedule AP English Language and Pre-Calc during the same period. I took Trig and Anal. Geomerty in 11th grade instead but now I am in AP Calculus.

I am taking precalc now as a junior. I took both Algebra II and geometry last year so I could take precalc this year and take AP Calc my senior year. Most people thought I was crazy, but hey, what is a nerd to do?

Rock on. You're not crazy. Sometimes to get ahead, you have to work harder than everyone else. I'm planning on taking AP tests on subjects not available at my school or that I can't take right now because of scheduling issues. AP Physics, Comparative Politics, U.S. History, and possibly World History.

I took PreCalculus Advanced in my junior year of high school...as well as the PreCal Lab (which seems utterly pointless to me, but that's another tale).

And yes, Irmo had block scheduling. A-B scheduling, at that.

Did I mention that I love college?

Precalc my junior year, although some take it senior and junior they take advanced math (really slow precalc?)
yes, we have block scheduling in rockville......best thing ever, 2 days to do my homework!

I took precalc as an Alg II/Trig class (1 year of Alg II the first semester, 1 year of Trig the second semester) in my Sophmore year. We don't have block scheduling.

Im taking precalc now in my Freshman year and we have block scheduling.

Pre-Calc?

I was in it for two weeks as a sophomore then switched in to Calculus AB I am in Calculus BC now after getting 5 on the AB test.

My school does not have block scheduling.

Junior, no block. Regret it highly. Waste of time.

9th grade. I think I have some kind of school record for earliest taking of math classes, though.

Nope, and a good thing too, IMHO.

At my school there are a lot of people taking precalc in 9th grade including me.
