Attempting to take both IM3 + AP Precalc in one summer.
Rising junior here,
I know that this usually isn’t a good idea but hear me out. For reference, the Precalc teacher at my school is notoriously bad. He apparently barely does any actual teaching and assigns extremely hard questions for tests. I don’t know a single person in the class who has above a B. To add on, last semester’s average final score was about 55%.
But onto the actual course, the first half of Precalc is just IM3 review, isn’t it? So, after finishing IM3, could I just start on unit 3 of Precalc?
More info, already registered for dual enrollment philosophy for starting the third week of summer break, so would it be wise to try and learn both Precalc and Philosophy at the same time?
Also, next summer, I’m planning to take Calculus 1/AP Calc AB in order to take Calc BC in senior year, but taking IM3 + Precalc this summer would free it up.
Anyway, please tell me if this is a good idea.
