Wow, I feel kind of retarded.
The last math course I took was IB Math Studies (otherwise known as Dumb Math), which is the basic IB course for dumbs who suck at math and will never do it again. There was one unit of intro to differential calculus and the program also included some trig, functions and stats aspects. What this would be equivalent to in the US, I'm not sure, so I voted 'never made it to calculus' though maybe parts of Dumb Math are covered in basic calc courses in the states. Additionally, I started a non-IB stats/data management class in Grade 12, but I dropped out after seeing that I would fail epically.
When I left the American system in Grade 9 I had completed Algebra I (which made me one of the slow dumbs, while the smart people did Geometry).
edit: to quote from IBO: "The IB Diploma Programme mathematical studies course, available in standard level only, is for students with varied backgrounds and abilities. The course is designed to build confidence and encourage an appreciation of mathematics in students who do not anticipate a need for mathematics in their future studies." -- aka, for dumb kids who can't do math for sh**t and would not take math if they could
