I would like to take calculus but think I need some preparation before hand. I want to choose between Precalculus and Get Ready for Calculus but I can find absolutely no information, no course descriptions or prerequisites. I would also like general information about course procedure, interaction with instructor, etc. Where is this stuff? I feel like I'm missing something.
Thanks for any guidance.
Hi jmr7123,
If you're wanting to take one of the calculus courses, you'll want to make sure that you have a solid foundation in algebra and trigonometry. If you're familiar with these concepts and need a quick refresher, then I suggest taking the Get Ready for AP Calculus course before doing the actual calculus course. This will review some of the concepts that you'll need to be successful in the calculus courses.
If you're struggling with Algebra and Trigonometry and need a more detailed refresher, then I suggest working through those courses first, before doing the calculus course.
All of the courses can be completed independently and at your own pace. There's really no standard "course procedure", due dates, or anything like that---you're free to complete whatever content at your own speed and in your own order. If you're new to the site, then I suggest first learning a little bit about how the Mastery System works. You can find information on this here: https://support.khanacademy.org/hc/en-us/sections/200665650-The-Mastery-System
If you have any questions about the course content, you can always view the existing community questions about the topic or post a new question if your question has not already been asked. To access the discussion area, first open a related video. Then, click the video title to open the video in a full-page view. The discussion area can then be found at the bottom of the page.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
