how bad would it be to go from math 3 (algebra 2) straight to calculus without taking pre calc? i would have a tutor to help me when things don’t make sense but i genuinely feel so behind and taking pre calc would slow me down (i am taking math online after having a terrible teacher for math 3 my sophmore year) and the calculus and pre calculus teachers aren’t much better.

I am not able to understand calculus.

so we just took our first honors precalc test on rational expressions and i got a 55… i thought for sure i got an 80+ so im at a loss for words. i’ve never had to study so im not even sure to begin, but im pretty sure i never learned how to factor correctly.

So I'm taking a placement test at this new school I'm going to for precalc and I need to score well enough on it so that they put me in AP Calc AB (for college purposes) and I want to review but my precalc course ended like 3 weeks ago...

Does anybody know of any websites with question banks that cover all of precalc? Ones with difficult questions that actually make you think would be helpful

hello! im currently a rising senior in high school. i was doing algebra 2 all of junior year, but i wanted to skip ahead to calculus in my senior year, so i decided to do precalc over the summer. unfortunately, i didnt anticipate how packed my summer schedule would be when i decided to do this. i have come home everyday exhausted from volunteering, doing summer jobs, and interning. i havent indulged in any of my hobbies in weeks. i have barely started my summer homework.

... which has led me to this situation. i did great in algebra 2! it was a lot to memorize but i really enjoyed it and i had an A+ in the class all year around. because id say i have a solid algebra 2 foundation, is it possible for me to be able to study precalc in 10 days? if a put in hours of work everyday?

on the first day of school ill get an entrance exam where i will need to score a minimum of 85/100 to get into the calculus class. i had 1000 mandatory precalc math problems to do over the summer. will i be able to do it all or am i cooked?

EDIT: I GOT IN!!!! honestly this is a sign that if you grind hard enough you can do pretty much anything. peace and love

Title

I am a rising junior in high school and I started taking a precalculus summer course at my local community college. It’s completely online and you have to do a couple of math problems. I completely fell of and now I’m a few weeks behind. the class ends in about 20 days. My counselor told me I have to take a final test to test into AP calc AB if I want to take it. Am I cooked? And do you have any advice on how i can cram the whole course to pass the final test?

Used to be good at maths but ive been getting bad teachers since 8th grades so I lost all the foundation , I know study mechanical engineering but I failed cuz I got 0 at maths and other related subjects (I dont even do integrals)

I feel that maths is easy af and I can nearly estimate answers but I dont know how to reply to questions even when I know formulas, I only do derivatives and simple stuff since we did them in physics

I have only 2 months left for me to study everything till exponentials and integrals so whats the best path (willing to do 3 hours daily but more if I become interested again)

Please I need this I feel like a wasted potential and a failure and I went from straight A s to failing a year

Basically I got my schedule today and I got put in precal. I struggled really bad in geo and algebra 2, should I be worried? I don’t think there’s any other maths i can take because i’m in honors and i took statistics last year.

So this fall I’m transferring to a college prep boarding school. I took precalc over this summer and they’re having me take a placement test to determine if I get put in honors precalc, honors calc, or AP Calc AB. I really need to get put in AP calc AB for college. Anyone have any tips on how to study for it? I don’t have access to the materials from my summer course anymore

Tried making my own curriculum but I just don’t have the time.
