<p>I can’t answer your question, but I can tell you what my own daughter is doing. She’s a 10th grader currently enrolled in her school’s Honors Precalc/Calc A class, and is struggling. The teacher’s teaching style doesn’t match her learning style at all. She needs one more year of math to graduate, and, like you, is worried about AP Calc. So she and a friend will be taking an online course through UC Berkeley Extension this summer [Calculus</a> I](<a href=“http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/cat/course597.html]Calculus”>http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/cat/course597.html). </p>
<p>This way, they will be able to move through the material at their own pace. And they’ll receive college credit for the class at the UCs and Cal States, and probably some privates as well. </p>
<p>Don’t know if your school will allow this, don’t know how it will be regarded by colleges (although one student we know who took the UCB online precalc course - her highest level of math, by the way - is now at Harvard), but you might want to look into it.</p>
