Thats because, even if you take Calc in HS, let alone AP Calc, you will have to repeat calc 99% of the time, because colleges want two things: You to learn it THEIR way, and more MONEY, and trust me, NOBODY wants to take calc in the first place, let alone twice AND don't forget the waste of $82 on something that is nothing but an ulcer and resume pillow.


You take algebra in 8th grade here, and its been that way for a while.
