I guess HL is a 2 year sequence at your school? Where my kid went it was a 1 year course taken senior year and most kids who took it had had both pre-calc and calc, so I’m guessing the two year sequence would cover quite a bit of calc in Junior year. So, this is a long way of saying without pre-calc, you’ll likely struggle.

If you plan on being a STEM major in college, find a way to squeeze in pre-calc. If not, SL will do.
