At exclusive schools, admissions counselors look to see if students have taken difficult courses through all four years of their high school, including calculus. Taking precalculus by your junior year can help you to understand the concepts underpinning calculus. It is also important for you to score well in your precalculus class to maintain a high GPA. Because of the competitiveness of college admissions, many high schools have expanded their curricula to include higher-level math courses such as precalculus and calculus.
