She said she was doing average and she didn't want to be average. She wanted to be exceptional...

Well alright then; my comments still stand. Get a firm grasp on algebra before considering moving on to pre-calc.

Someone once told me that pre-calc is a lot like an algebra III course.

That legitimately sent shivers down my spine at the time I heard it. Math is not my forte, nor has it ever been.

I agree with iluv. About the first half of precal is graph behaviors and their equation and whatnot so you want a strong foundation.

I have Algebra down pat.

When I said average, I meant my class level, not grade or learning ability.
I don't know why this is such a big deal! xD I'm confident that I would be able to handle enrolling in Pre-Calc over sophomore-junior summer. But thank you very much for your opinions, iluvbooks. I will not shun you for having them.

@Above - I'm the most wary of Calculus.. and inversely, looking forward to Statistics.

Update:

I passed the class with a 96.99%

A royal screw-you to the guy who told me it was out of my capacity.
