@Calchong I don’t go there, my friend goes there. I’m from California.
@Cornbread1999 I have my precalc final and an English test (I can fail the latter and still get an A in the class, so that one doesn’t matter; however, the first one basically decides whether I take Calc BC or AB next year, and I really, really want to take Calc BC because people usually don’t continue from AB to BC at my school; most juniors end up in BC, so there’s no point). Right now I’m above the curve, but the final will change everything.
@topaz1116 lol, when I took my math final, I could have gotten a B and still have an A, but my English grade was seriously on the line.
and at my school, if you get a B or above in Analysis H, then you are basically guaranteed a spot in BC Calc. Funny how only 60 students in each graduating class out of 470 take Calc BC at my school, especially when we’re so close to Stanford.
I winged my AP World test and got an 88… whoop whoop!! Lol… she gave us one night notice about the test and I stayed up a long time studying but I knew it wouldn’t be enough so I literally had to use process of elimination her questions. She makes the tests crazy hard on purpose… I saw my grade today and I was literally like wow… didn’t expect it at all! At this rate, I could possibly pass the AP exam then. I never saw hope but today changed things lol laughs
@SallyStephens I think I’m also two weeks into the semester. I jut had my first test of the semester earlier today. I winged my History exam, and got 100. History is too easy. This is what I get for taking regular classes…
@Cornbread1999 there are only 3 classes of BC this year, which means there won’t be enough students for a class of Multivar (since less people tend to be interested) next year; but Calc BC is really hard to get into at my school and it’s annoying. Especially since Honors Precalc doesn’t give any partial credit, so if you make a tiny mistake on one question on a test, you automatically get a B. Which is why I’m really stressed about the math final. Technically district policy is that you need a “high A” in order to get into Calc BC from Honors Precalc, but our teachers sign anybody with an 90% or above for Calc BC.
@dsi411 ikr. But technically I studied more in middle school than I do now… I was such a try-hard back then.
I have a friend from a neighboring high school who, last year, went to all her teachers a month before finals and asked them what she needed to study. She literally tries so hard and I want her motivation. She’s also a freaking amazing dancer.
@dsi411 Elementary and Middle School were wayyy too easy for me. I don’t think I had to study in either. However, this caused a very hard transition to high school. Even now, I don’t study as much as I should.
@topaz1116 I wish I had that motivation too!
Also, good luck on your math final! I hope you do well.
@topaz1116 how was the pre-calc final? I’m considering signing up for this FLVS class. Would love to hear your experience as I’ve never taken an online class before. Format? videos? webinars? Do you use blackboard or something?
Also for those Calc AB or BC folks, do students typically take AB then BC or just BC, I know there’s some overlap but I thought it was greater depth and I should take AB first. Thoughts?
I started with AB my sophomore year only because I have time to go from AB to BC and learn it in-debth and have a smoother road.
Those who jump to BC are those who had pre-calculus sophomore year and want to finish calculus by senior year, instead of have both maths junior and senior year.
It is up to you and what you think you can handle and what your goals are. if you’re looking to dual enroll a math course senior year, take BC. If you’re okay with a smooth road and have no dual enrollment plans for math and aren’t looking for a math career, then go to AB then BC. That is, presuming you are a sophomore currently. Which I’m guessing you are because you’re on this thread
