What is the average grade for Calculus?

By far the biggest effect at the student level came from preparation for calculus. Figure 2 shows the relationship between grades earned in college calculus and grades earned in high school mathematics courses or on SAT or ACT quantitative exams. The average grade across the entire study was 80.7\%, a low B–.

Can you get AB in Calculus?

In most cases, we don’t recommend taking both AB and BC Calculus. AB Calculus and BC Calculus are similar enough that taking them one after the other will be a lot like taking the same class twice, and it’ll probably be pretty boring for you.

Do math classes get easier after Calculus II?

Everybody seems to back up what I’ve heard, that the math classes get easy after Calculus II. I just got my first grade back in calc I, it’s an A, 95\%, but there was no curving and the class average was a shocking 60\%.

How well are high school students prepared for college calculus?

Here’s some more data. 82\% of the students in the class had a semester or more of calculus in high school, and 73\% had a year or more of calculus in high school. (35\% even had a year of AP Calculus.) By all accounts, this is a group that is well-prepared for college calculus.

Do students who can visualize algebra have higher grades in calculus?

Since I don’t ask them to put their names on the papers, I can’t relate solutions to this problem to their grades in the course, but my guess is that there would be a high degree of correlation. Students who can visualize algebra, who can move easily from algebra to geometry and back, are likely to be successful in calculus.

Do I need intense algebra to learn calculus?

On the other hand, those who are unlikely to continue to calculus will not need intense algebra. But assuming that a particular student is in that category may end up being a self-fulfilling prophecy.
