<p>You can research “AP course audit” - essentially, it’s the process of certifying hs AP classes. Last I heard, it’s a cumbersome process. In theory, if a kid can get college credit, he should have learned enough that he is prepared for the next level of learning in that subject, in college. This is from collegeboard.com; there must be more info out there.

<p>IMO, colleges expect a certain breadth and depth of work to be covered in their own courses. But, generally have no mandatory audit process like the one for AP. I think that means it is entirely possible you could luck out and have an inspiring, responsive college calculus teacher. Ie, easier. But, no guarantee.</p>
<p>Btw, I thought pre-calc was a jr year class. At least, at my kids’ school.</p>
