I took integrated 3 over the summer so that i could be in precalc this year. only sophomore in the school taking precalc.

wow, I wish I could pull that kind of stuff off

woah... now i understand why i finished all my math last year... (i managed to clear out all my high school math in two years... it woulda been a year and a half, but the idiots at my middle school wouldnt let me take Algebra I as a 8th grader )

I could have finished high school math in two years, but instead of doubling up in math as a freshman, I decided to double up in science so that I could take 3 AP science classes as a senior. As it stands now, I'm set to be done with math for high school by the end of this year (so in three years). That is, unless I decided to take an independent study (which is where you teach yourself because the school lacks math classes beyond AP calc) and teach myself Calc II or whatever else I want

ok, lets see here, last year, I finished all math that was required of me to graduate, and then decided to take another two years so this way I would have 4 years. Only two years of math required of any level

Really My school requires three, and strongly recommends four.

yeah, i've got like 4 or 5 AP courses next year... (out of 8 classes total... so i get a nice tiring year)

on the plus side, i signed up for AP Computer Science and Astronomy Honors...

I signed up for AP compsci three years in a row, they never offered it, so I gave up on it

I take compsci next year. It's the only technology course at my school that gives AP grade points instead of regulars.

our school spreads what should be a 2 month class out over 9.....I wouldn't have had to resort to drastic measures, but ours was the one year they didn't let 7th graders take Integrated 1 (our equiv to Algebra 1)


next year as a Junior, I will be taking 200 or 300 level college computer science classes (depends on when they are offered). Im taking the AP AB computer science exams this year as a sophomore. As a senior I will take Calculus 2 and probably Linear Algebra at the college.

plus theres normal AP classes for me to take.....

Yeah, I got on the math fasttrack, so I took Algebra II freshman year, Geometry and Precalc sophomore year, Calc I junior year, and Calc II and Calc III senior year,

My route:
7th-Alg I
8th-Geometry
9th-Trig/Precalc
10th-Calc
11th-nothing
12th-Calc II at local college

So anyway, does this deserve a topic split?
Chances are we've all taken math a year or two above our grade.

heehee.....not just math. I tested at above a 12th grade reading level when I was in 3rd grade.

Heh, I am smarter as far as academic and raw testing skills than 99% of the population (IQ and SAT).

Stupid School won't let me get ahead in math, I am on the same page as most in my grade

Ugh, that sucks. I hate when schools won't give me the proper challenges I want; luckily that hasn't happened to me much yett.

Just go to the library and get some calculus books. After feeling comfortable with it see if you can test out of calculus and take some Dual Enrollment math course. I got tired of doing the same thing every time we went to Alg 2, which basically was a lot of review for stuff so ridiculousy easy it isn't even funny, like combinations, permutations, binomial theorem, synthetic division, etc. On top of that, we are forced to take either trig and analytical geometry or AP calc next year. There's no way I'm going to the lower class because it would be a repeat of Alg 2, as in too much review time and not enough learning time. I checked out a calculus book because we can't take precalc over the summer, and I want to be more than ready. I checked it out Monday and am on Chapter 4 today. I hope to get done by next week and get another book.

Same here...somewhat. I got in the 99% percentile for math on the ACT...I got a 34. A few problems > me.

I got 0 problems wrong on the SAT. woot.
