<p>Since law schools give credit for A+'s and take in grades from community colleges into account, would it be reasonable for a Cal student to get 3 A+s in community college classes with a bit of work? </p>
<p>I'm planning on taking Bio, Stats, and the History of Rock (lol)</p>
<p>community colleges don’t give out A+ grades. I’ve taken 23 units during one semester at community college and got a 4.0 without any problem so it won’t be that difficult.</p>
<p>Definitely. Ive also concurrently taken about 10 units at a cc previously while taking a full hs schedule and did it no prob-and my classes were all math and science too. So I’d say it can be done.</p>
<p>It depends on the community college and the class (and the prof) but it would be safe to say that cc classes are generally pretty easy when compared to their University counterparts. </p>
<p>That said, don’t expect to get A’s without putting in the necessary work.</p>
<p>In community college, I didn’t have to take half my finals and forgot to take half my midterms (missed classes etc) and still pulled off a 4.0 :P</p>
<p>Obviously, it depends on what classes you’re taking and where. I’ve known a couple Biochem/MicroBio friends who felt like Berkeley classes were way easier and less time consuming than courses at the community college. Obviously I wouldn’t expect History of Rock or Statistics to be that difficult, because they cater to a different group of people at the community colleges. I would expect the biology class to be around the same difficulty level, maybe a little easier, but probably a bit harder simply because it’s a summer class (and possibly no curves). Of course, your mileage may vary.</p>

<p>This is 100% incorrect. Bio 1A/L was extremely more difficult than what it was articulated for in community college (it’s equivalent on Assist.org). CC in general, is a lot easier than UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>I have come to the conclusion that community college courses are “dumbed down” for the students who attend either because their parents are forcing them to, the students who took the non AP/Honors classes in high school, and older students. </p>
<p>The most difficult course I took was human anatomy, which was a course required to get into the nursing program.</p>
