  1. It really depends on your goals and interests! Here’s a quick overview to help you decide:

    Statistics:
    – Focuses on collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data.
    – Useful for understanding real-world applications, especially in fields like social sciences, biology, and business.
    – It can be less mathematically intense compared to precalc, and it may appeal to you if you’re interested in data analysis or research.

    Precalculus:
    – A bridge between algebra and calculus, covering advanced algebraic concepts, functions, and trigonometry.
    – Essential if you plan to take calculus in the future, which is foundational for many STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, math).
    – Provides a strong mathematical foundation, which can be beneficial in various college courses.

    Consider your future plans; if you’re leaning towards a STEM major, precalc might be the way to go. If you’re more interested in fields that utilize data, statistics could be more relevant. You might also want to think about what type of skills you enjoy using—analytical problem-solving or analyzing and interpreting data. Good luck!
