<p>Okay so I am taking Pre-Calculus and the drop deadline is next Friday......</p>

<p>And I have a 72% in the class...</p>

<p>We have 2 more exams coming up and a Final that is worth 30% of our grade.</p>

<p>10% quizzes
60% exams
30% final exam</p>

<p>I have a 87% average on the quizzes..</p>

<p>I have gotten so far on the exams:</p>

<p>32/60
35/60
39/60
60/60</p>

<p>on my tests</p>

<p>With the 2 more exams coming up as well as a final worth 30%</p>

<p>I am not sure whether or not I should drop and accept a "W".</p>

<p>I need this class since I TAG'd and I need it to take Calc1 since it's a pre-req.</p>

<p>At this point I will be happy to pass with a C... I am willing to sacrifice a bit of my 3.8 GPA just to pass this class.</p>

<p>What should I do please help...</p>

<p>I am so scared.</p>

<p>I would keep it. If you drop this class it will set you back a year because you’ll need it to take Calc 1. Considering that you still have your final and two exams, there is room for you to possibly squeeze by with a B.</p>

<p>If you’re happy with a C at this point, why drop? Just ride it out and try to get a B. Dropping it will screw up your TAG and you would have to wait another year. Study hard!</p>

<p>Same boat as you Tony. Math is not my favorite subject, but I need to push through Cal 1 & 2 for the Econ major. Getting a C will not get you an immediate rejection from any UCs, especially if you are around a 3.8. Just keep on truckin’ and you will be fine (even if your GPA drops to a 3.75).</p>

<p>Of course, I still need to take the Calcs and pass at least one of them with a B, otherwise my plans for a double major go down the drain.</p>

<p>I know I’m just worried because the stuff we’re learning right now looks really hard. Seems doable but just hard.</p>

<p>The next two tests, I’m not worried about those. I can easily pull off B’s and A’s on them.</p>

<p>It’s the FINAL that’s worth 30% that’s scaring me.</p>

<p>I am trying to figure out what I would need on the final in order to pass the class and so far I have no luck…</p>

<p>You just do some multiplication and addition to find that out dude…</p>

<p>I would keep rather than wait another year</p>

<p>Is a pre-calc class even transferable? I thought non transferable classwork does not get added into your gpa?</p>

<p>Precalculus is a transferable class, yeah.</p>
