Calc 2 (HL i think)

[thinkgreen95]

hi everybody! I'm taking Calc 1 over summer at the university in town, and Calc 2 next year. I was just wondering if anybody knew if when you take HL (Calc 2) in 10th grade, do you have to redo anything...cuz my friend said I would probably need to redo it, and I really don't want to becuz I already have to retake the IB exam for IB physics in 11th, and it would be crazy if I have to redo all the HL and IB stuff I do in 9th and 10th cuz I am doing a bunch of IB and HL stuff in freshman yr(this yr) and next yr. THanks in advance!

IB is for the last two years only so even if you learned specific parts of the course early, you would still have to (re)learn the whole syllabus. With that said, I'm not too familiar with the American system but 'Calc 2' is not an IB course.

I started HL math not knowing any calculus in grade 11. They start with introductory calculus and finish most calculus topics by the end of one semester. Therefore, I don't think its necessary to take calculus before grade 11. Enjoy grade 10- take something that you find easy and fun because come next year your choices are generally restricted to academic ones. (math, english, science, social science)
