I am going to be a junior this fall and I'm finishing choosing my classes for my new schedule. Ever since I started grade I've been taking more advanced classes. As I started getting older I could only be offered a high math class as I would just sit in a 2-grade higher class. However certain sciences and whatnot are required for each grade level. With that background information I'm wondering how difficult AP Statistics should be for me. Last year I took Pre-Cal and this year I'm taking AP Calculus along with AP Stats. Keep in mind even though I am 2+ years ahead of where my classmates are the work is still very difficult, I don't just breeze through it. It's just like I'm a normal person in that class, I'm just 2 years younger. I still get B's in math.
So in response, I was wondering a. How difficult do you think it will be for me? and b. For those who have taken the class: What should I expect? What is the material like?
And yes I know, all teachers teach a class differently.. I just want you to base it on experience.
If you mess up on one little thing (or maybe it's just the teachers at my school) then the entire thing is wrong. (I guess some teachers cut you some slack).
If you can't pull an A in the class, don't take the AP exam. Just take the regular teacher exam if one is given.
It's not that the material is difficult as long as you pay attention and stuff, it's just really drawn out. Lots and lots of word problems and such.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you to expect LOTS of writing. I'm going to be a senior and I'm also very ahead in my math classes. I've actually taken all the classes I need to graduate except for english but I'm taking all the "fun" extra classes for my senior year just to tack on some credits.
