How would you rank the difficulty of classes in the Math 20 series?

<p>Math 20A-F. How would you rank them from easiest to hardest?</p>

<p>I’ve only taken 20B, C, and am taking F now and I would certainly rank 20B as the hardest so far. I heard that 20B and 20E are the hardest ones in the sequence.</p>

<p>My roommate and I took 10B, then I went on to 10C and he switched to 20B. I finished 10C and he’s in 20C, and according to him, the 20 series is easy compared to 10, which I did not expect.</p>

<p>I would not expect that either, especially considering how these classes are curved so that the average is borderline C+/B-, and the Math20 series has people who are better at math than the people in the 10 series, hence raising the curve. Your roommate probably only found it easy because he already had some practice by taking 10B before taking 20B, and maybe he also learned how to study more efficiently in math.</p>

<p>That doesn’t really have anything to do with my original question though, because I’m interested in the relative difficulty of classes within the 20 series. Different majors require different Math 20 classes, so that skews the curves.</p>

<p>I took C, D, E and F (passed out of A and B).</p>

<p>E was definitely the hardest and D was the easiest for me.</p>

<p>I would rank them D, C, F, E (from easiest to hardest).</p>

<p>Did you take them in alphabetical order? Based on what I’ve heard, Math 20D is easier if you’ve taken 20F first.</p>

<p>I took it C -> F -> D -> E.</p>

<p>I know someone who took D, E, and F all in the same quarter.</p>

<p>But yes, F introduces you to a lot of concepts that are used in D but aren’t really gone in depth into in D, so it would be smart to take F before D.</p>

<p>Personal anecdote from easiest to hardest (based on final grade and hours spent studying):</p>

<p>F > C > D > E</p>
