Should i take chemistry and geometry before college ?

Question

i am in the 12th grade and talked to councelors about me going to a city college to take chemistry and geometry before i go to a 4 year college. Is there any good of doing this or would it make a difference ? if i dont take it now would i have to take those 2 classes in college ?

Answer 1

Like the previous said, make sure your college will take the credits. I took calculus and biology the summer before going to a 4 year college, and my college refused to take the credits. but it wasn't a complete waste because when I had to take those classes, i was more prepared and did very well since i was already familiar with the material. It's always nice to start of the college years with a good GPA

Answer 2

Aren't chem and geometry required to graduate highschool? geometry is basic math and you should know how to do it. It lays the foundation for college level math courses. If you feel like you already have a good grasp of it, there's no need to take it unles you just want to have some credit hours under your belt before attending college. However, make sure the college you plan to go to will transfer those classes from the city college and give you credit for them.

The same goes for Chem. In college there are many science classes to choose from so take what interests you. Maybe if Chem is going to be difficult for you, take geology or biology or astrology or whatever. It doesn't matter as long as it's science and the college you go to will transfer it.

To answer your question, you probably should take those classes in highschool AT your highschool. They will be easier there anyway, trust me. And, you can get a feel for the subject and if you like it you can take it more in depth in college, if you don't like it no harm done.

If you want to have some credit hours under your belt before starting college consider an english course or any kind, a western civilization class, Any history class, a language course,or an elective. But again, make sure beforehand that the college you want to go to will accept those for the city college.

Good luck.

You need to make sure that your future college will give you credit for taking those courses otherwise it's useless.
