Taking Calculus After a Year's Break?

<p>I'm sorry if this is not the appropriate forum, but I figured that the posters here would be most apt to answer my question. </p>

<p>I am a junior in a public school in New England. I will be taking Calculus this year and intend to take Statistics my senior year. As I am sure many on CC have done this before, I would be very much obliged if people could share their experiences with this course of action. </p>

<p>My concern lies in freshman year math at college. I'm afraid that without a rigorous calculus-level math my senior year, I'll forget most of what I learn in Calculus and thus be at a disadvantage in college.</p>

<p>Im a freshman this year, and i did exactly what youre doing in HS…
i took calc as a junior and stat as a senior.</p>

<p>My calc class hasn’t started yet, and I’m also a little nervous about it, but I’m taking an intro level calc course; they arent expecting me to have an extensive prior knowledge to the subject. If you’re doing the same thing as me, then i’d say we have a bit of an advantage over everyone who’s never taken a calculus course before (:</p>

<p>I’m a freshman in college as well, and I did what you did. Calc junior year, Stats senior year.</p>

<p>I’m also restarting my calc series for an (hopefully) easy 4.0. I have my textbooks already and I’ve been looking through them to review. I know my class is full of people who are doing exactly what I did, or took precalc during senior year in high school. I’m not too worried about it.</p>

<p>It will come back, do not worry.</p>

<p>Don’t sleep on College Level Calculus, it can be considerably more difficult depending on the setup from each University. My Calc I class was full of Engineering majors that had taken AP Calc in High School, but were struggling.</p>

<p>Look into your college and see if the Calculus course are known to be difficult or not. Calc can be made extremely difficult or extremely easy, it just depends on the school/professor.</p>

<p>It depends on the university, but I did it (with no math senior year) and I was fine.</p>

<p>The Saudi students are afraid of me since I did integral calculus in my head, getting to the answer before the teacher did. :D</p>
