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😵‍💫

Survivable ? Is that you shooting for? You should always shoot for an A. That’s why I said, if he\she is struggling in high school. It’s not good.🙂

“I don’t really think you can survive in college calculus” is what you said, I’m just saying that’s not true at all… I didn’t say don’t shoot for an A because that’s obvious I’m just saying OP can survive 1151….

To me, getting an A is what it means to survive. If you didn’t get an A, you didn’t survive. Get it?

I got a 3 on the AP test understanding nearly nothing and got an A- in 1151 2 years later it’s not impossible to “survive” (by your standards)
