2 Math classes in one year= challenging?

Im taking Stats and Precalc in my senior year. Will a college deem this as challenging?

I took AP Stats and PreCalc as a Junior. It wasn't hard and class rigor is relative to the classes your high school offers.

they wont see it as challenging, but you definitely should take pre-calc before you graduate.

I'm taking AP Calc BC and AP Stats senior year. I've heard that stats is a relatively easy class and that the AP exam is a breeze. I took PreCalc last year and thought it was incredibly easy, but I guess it probably varies from school to school

I love the fact my school says I had Algebra II, Geometry, and Pre-cal in the same year... which is not technically true.

I don't see stats and pre-cal as particularly challenging though.

AP stats is easy for the most part, but gets a bit difficult towards the end of the curriculum. pre calc is easy though. taking two wouldn't be too challenging, i'm sure, as i did that junior year and i managed well.
