Neither math studies SL nor math SL will give advanced placement in math in US universities. Math SL includes some calculus, so some students also try the AP calculus AB exam (possibly with some additional self-study, or with the math SL course adding a few extra topics as needed) to try to get advanced placement in math.

Not sure why someone three grades ahead in math (precalculus in 9th grade) would have difficulty in math…
