Hey guys,
So both the regular Calc I and honors calc I course use the exact same textbook (Stewart Calculus) and the same syllabus. So should the discrepancy in the difficulty between the regular and honors not be that high? Also, the cutoff score for honors is only 5 points higher than for regular on the ALEKS scale. you need 70 to take Calc I, and you need a 75 to take calc I honors. I am just really scared because of all the negativity surrounding honors courses on these forums. I scored a 770 on SAT math level 2 and got the highest grade in my last math class, so I think I am decent at math. Also would taking honors calc I give me an advantage for Calc 2? I really want to get a 4.0 this upcoming semester to start off freshman year with a bang.
Thanks
