Calculus in high school over two years -- why?

<p>

</p>

<p>I think it all depends on your school district. The school I’m from, if you’re one year ahead you take pre-calc sophomore year, AB your junior year, and BC your senior year. The “normal” track is geometry in tenth, pre-calc in eleventh, and your choice of statistics (AP or standard), advanced math concepts, or a non-AP calculus class.</p>

<p>I actually liked taking AB before BC a lot because it let me actually understand a lot more of what was going on, and I think I’ve retained a lot more knowledge of math over the years versus my friends that only had BC in high school and managed to finish with a 5.</p>
