We used Saxon math for our kids when we homeschooled and when they went to college, they all got in in then honors program at their respective universities and took calc their first semester instead of remedial math to get them ready for college level calc.

Well done.

I just retired from teaching at the maritime college in Maine.
We have good students who are focused on their careers but many have only average math skills.
I would say only 10% of our entering first year students take calculus their first semester.

As an aside, I needed to take college algebra and trig my freshmen year. After that I did well in all my math courses.
