So I'm pretty much fucked

I was reading through the university courses that I want to take in a few years today. And I came to the realization that I pretty much need Calculus.
I managed to pull off a 70 in grade 11 math this year. Which incidentally was one of the best marks in my class.

My math teacher said that I need to "pay attention to details" in class which I pretty much always did and came in for extra help as well as handing all my assignments in on time >_<
But anyways this teacher recommended that I take the Data Management math course next year, which is pretty much the basket math course.

I'm not the strongest in math, but my interests really lie in these fields.
And of course I need an over all average of at least 70% uggghh

Who's taken calculus? How did you find it difficulty wise?

I HATED calculus, it was literally a pain in the ass for me. I managed to pass with a "B," and I don't have to take any more math, I am finished with it, thank god lol. You won't sleep much, that I will promise you.

Shit.. So I'm hearing a definite cut back in hours at work then too in order to do all this shit.
My semester would be 1st Calculus, 2nd English, 3rd Philosophy, 4th Advanced Functions

Well.. HS Calculus curriculum teach it horribly. Basically, you end up skipping over most of the fundamentals which is why so many people end up failing.

If you want to do well in calculus, I suggest you study on your own. Probably 3 month on limits (basically work through a lot of limit problems) and 3 more month on derivatives (that's just a ton of practice). After you done that, then take the calculus course, the class will skim through those fundamental subjects in a matter of days and move right on to integrals...

I took AP Calc AB last year and i found the majority of it quite easy (though im told i have a natural talent for math and such)...but out of about 20 kids in my class, all but about 3 struggled through the whole year and the majority barely passed i believe

If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy this and put it in your signature.
