Pre-calculus. I’m a current freshman and will take pre-calc as a sophomore.
Is it worth taking over the summer.

My project math courses are:
10th- Pre-calc
11th- AP Calc BC
12th- MV Calc and Differential Eq’ns, AP Statistics

If I skip Pre-Calc, I have the option to take some of these classes senior year. These are also offered:

Linear Algebra (Must be taken with or after MV Calc and Diff Eq’ns)
Abstract Algebra (Must be taken with or after MV Calc and Diff Eq’ns)
Graph Theory and Combinatorics (Must be taken with or after AP Calculus or higher)

If I don’t skip Pre-Calc, I might not be able to take some of these.

So the real question is whether or not I should go directly to AP Calc. I think it might be too difficult, but I need some opinions.
