Product: COL3 - PRC3

Question 1

COL vs PRC

Answer 1

• COL3 and PRC3 content coverage is very similar
• The main differences include:
  -COL covers early topics at a slower pace
  -PRC contains 3 additional chapters at the end covering trig as a prep before a calculus course
• Because of this some schools will use PRC for a COL and PRC course
