What is the difference between collage algebra and pre calculus?
I am sophomore in high school and right now I am taking algebra 2. I am confused between what math class I should take. collage algebra or pre calculus. Any suggestions would help!
tell us your grade in alg. 2 and if its a high B or A, then I suggest going to pre-calc. however if you suck at alg. 2 and have a low grade, DEFINATELY go with college algebra cause college alg. is SIGNIFICANTLY easier than pre-calc.

I don’t know. All the times I have seen a class level between trig and calculus, it was either pre-calc or college math. I have never seen both options at the same time, I always assumed the name was a convention based on whether the school offered a calculus course or not.
But for you sake, if you plan on taking calculus in the future, take the pre-calc course. Otherwise go with college algebra.
