Hi all! I'm currently working on my class schedule for next year and saw a mention of an AP Pre-Calculus class. Is this a real thing? I know there's AP Calculus AB and BC, but I've never heard of AP Pre-Calculus. Let me know!
Hi there! It looks like there might be some confusion. There is no official AP Pre-Calculus class offered by the College Board. The typical math progression would involve taking Pre-Calculus (at the regular or honors level) as a prerequisite for AP Calculus AB or BC.
Pre-Calculus serves as a foundational course and prepares students for the more advanced concepts they will encounter in the AP Calculus courses. Speak with your guidance counselor or math department to clarify the available math courses at your school and which one would be the best fit for you based on your current math level and future goals. Good luck with your class schedule planning!
