AP Stats vs. AP Calc

Every spring I get asked which math class a student should take after Algebra 2.  There are many options and you should discuss these options with your current math teacher, your counselor, and your parents.  You should also consider your strengths as a student and your goals for college and your career.

With that said, here are some links to help you choose the best course for your needs:
