Is it better to take pre calc or stats?

Pre-calculus is more of a foundational math course whereas statistics is more of an elective. Statistics is exactly what it sounds like. I would think AP Stats would be more beneficial than PreCal for a Psychology major, but there is a good chance colleges will have you take a Calculus course, so I’d recommend PreCal.

Should I take AP Calculus AB?

The AP® Calculus AB exam is best suited for students who have done well in past secondary math classes such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Without a solid foundation in the principles of those earlier math classes, you will have a difficult time being successful in AP® Calculus AB.

Trigonometry is hard because it deliberately makes difficult what is at heart easy. We know trig is about right triangles, and right triangles are about the Pythagorean Theorem.

Is AP Calculus BC Easy?

Calc BC is not a very difficult AP class or test. You will work hard and you will be learning an entire year of college calculus, but it will save a lot of money on tuition. However, it is much easier to take BC calc in high school than take Calc 1 and Calc 2 in college in classes of 300 kids.

Is Statistics harder than algebra 2?

a fundamental course in statistics, then, generally, statistics is more difficult. Algebra concepts are much easier to grasp, Stats concepts are harder to grasp but the work itself at an INTRO level stat class will be easier as most of it is just memorizing a bunch of formulas and plugging them in.
