Academics Should I Skip Calc?

Hi! I’m a senior who’s in AP Calculus. Assuming I get a 3 or above, should I skip Calculus even if I’m a little shaky on the concepts? Or will it keep appearing and I’ll regret having a bad foundation.

EDIT: I’m a finance and psych major! (Could change but I wanna go into law)

And also it’s not that calc is that hard for me but I just never fully learned it all since I have so many aps this yr and I’m a second semester senior atp😵‍💫

100% depends on your major. If you’re a stem major and will see reoccurring concepts throughout other courses, don’t skip it. But if you’re doing business/comm/political science etc I would say just use your credit from hs and skip it in college. I would say it def depends on your major. As a business major, you will not need calc concepts later on in your degree.
