B. Personal preference and district course offerings affect which courses are taken and may determine the order in which courses are taken.
C. The grade 11 extended standards focus on science as inquiry, physical science, and life science. This is consistent with developing state high school assessment practices in Louisiana and reflects the content of the typical high school science courses completed by students by the time they reach the eleventh grade.
