<p>As a sophomore, I took Honors Algebra II/trig. junior year, I took AP Statistics. I plan to take BC Calc next year but considering I’m not a particularly strong math student and I haven’t even taken precalc, I’m a bit nervous about the class. I plan to use Peterson’s to get a headstart over the summer. Will the book sufficiently explain everything I may need to learn over the summer for me? Or should I read the AB Calc version of the book? Thanks!</p>
<p>okay if you haven’t taken precalc its fine it’s no biggie. but there are things you should learn from precalc such as the trig stuff that’d be extremely useful. so study up on calc ab definitely ahead seeing as you don’t have as strong of a foundation and stats isnt a real math…</p>
<p>You should take pre calculus, I think it is a prerequisite. The Peterson’s book should be sufficient, though.</p>
