Student Completed Other Precalculus
(Not Saxon or Shormann Math)
Good to Strong Math Students
Students who successfully completed a Precalculus with Trigonometry course, should be ready for Shormann Calculus. The first 25 lessons provide review of the foundational concepts needed to successfully complete this course. Since some of these concepts will not be review for your student, it may take more than 1 day to complete a lesson. Simply use the Timed Method which limits the time spent on math to an hour and a half or so per day.
Struggling or Reluctant Math Students
Shormann Precalculus is usually recommended for these students. This course will build mastery and fluency in geometry, precalculus, and algebra, while providing excellent preparation for the PSAT, SAT, and ACT. It also includes a 3-6 week CLEP Precalculus prep course which earns up to 3 college credits. If you are unsure, take the Saxon Calculus Placement Test. Students who pass this test are ready for Shormann Calculus.
