That may be how our district has Pre-Calculus set up as well. I will have to look into it although that may well be subject to change as well. For some reason, that long-ago semester of Pre-Calculus is more fuzzy to me that Geo/Trig or Calculus. I vaguely remember a bit of very quick review and then miscellaneous new stuff as well as a bit of basic introductory calculus - kind of like the way Pre-Algebra includes some basic introductory Algebra.
That is another example of different state (or college) different system. It would be so much clearer if everything were uniform. My college (private) didn't offer any math courses below 1st semester calculus. I remember someone who changed her mind and wanted to be pre-med and had to go pay one of the local public univiersities to get a refresher course before taking Calculus.
