AP® Precalculus
AP® Precalculus is a different type of AP® course. It’s designed for every student who’s ready for
precalculus in high school.
AP® Precalculus is a great way to try AP® for the first time. Taking just one AP® course in high school can
improve your first-year college GPA and your likelihood of graduating college in four years with a
bachelor’s degree.
When You Take AP® Precalculus, You’ll:
- Get the opportunity to fulfill a college math requirement by earning advanced placement
and/or college credit, stand out to colleges, and boost your high school GPA.
- Tackle college-level course work in a familiar setting. Plus, you get more time with your
teacher—140 hours compared to just 48 in a college precalculus course.
- Get access to free digital learning and practice resources, including AP® Daily
videos—short on-demand videos that support what you’re learning in class.
Go Beyond the Classroom
Taking AP® Precalculus helps you prepare for calculus and other higher-level math needed for STEM
majors and careers. Some careers that use the knowledge and skills learned in this course are:
- Architect
- City planner
- Astronomer
- Engineer
- Biologist
- Pharmacist
- Cardiologist
- Economist
- Epidemiologist
