Anybody taking or have taken Pre ap Geometry or Pre ap Algebra 2?

Question

My question is basically..... how hard is it? What extra material do they teach you that they don't teach in a regulars course. I like math a lot and thats why I'm asking. Also do you learn a little of Trig. or calculus in algebra 2 or do you have to wait till pre cal to be introduced?

Answer 1

Do you mean Pre AP(Advanced Placement) classes? I've never heard of a Pre AP class. They have AP classes for Algebra and Geometry? I didn't think those classes were advanced enough to be AP. But anyways, I'm a freshman in high school taking Honors Geometry, and we learn a minimal amount of trig. Mostly geometry. Algebra, you probably won't get any trig.
And as far as being different than a regular class, you'll probably learn the same math in more detail, like how the really complex formulas actually work, instead of just knowing what they do.

Answer 2

I haven't heard of these classes before, but from my own experience in math (im a math major in college now), you probably won't start any calculus until precalc because of the logic way algebra and trig build up to what you learn in precalculus.
