How hard is Chem 1 and Calc 1 at UF

<p>I got a 4 in AP Chem and a 5 on AP Calc AB. I feel like I could of gotten a 5 on chem if I had practiced on more problems/study more and I self-taught myself calculus, the teacher never taught me because she was that horrible, no joke.</p>

<p>Chem 1: HARD
Calc 1: Medium, but MASTER it before Calc 2. You need to know Calc 1 inside and out without a calculator before Calc 2</p>

<p>I think that since you took and passed the APs, you should be fine. At least, that’s how most people are. I mean, how can you pass the course first time, and then fail it the second time?! And don’t listen to those who’ll say, “oh, but this is UF, and at UF everything is hard”. (Believe me, you’ll hear it.) I find such comments to be blatantly ridiculous. UF is a state school, not an Ivy league. If UF is hard, then what would they say about, say, MIT or Harvard?</p>

<p>You will find the classes a joke if you did that well on those AP classes. I had a 4 in AP chem and 5 in calc BC, as I recall, and I aced honors general chem quite handily and only showed up for exams for calc 2 (did not take calc 1)</p>

<p>Chem 1 and Calc 1 are mostly review of HS AP calc AB and AP chem. There are plenty of opportunities for tutoring if needed.</p>
