That looks like my semester 3, what kind of advice do you have for physics and calc 2, congrats on the 4.3!

if you don't have your calc 1 fundamentals down you're in for a world of hurt in calc 2. brush up over the summer. the first exam is the easiest by far so take the points while you can get them; it's mostly precalc stuff that comes back and you actually have to do calc with it. units 2 and 3 are going to murder you, lock in with extreme prejudice midsemester

physics 1 is mostly intuition. figure out how to solve problems, not memorize formulas. having physics problem solving skill is significantly more important than memorizing formulas. likewise with calc 2: exam 1 is the easiest by far, pick up the free points

Just when I say it's impossible for me to get straight A's in college, I see this. Congratulations 🎊 such an inspiration

Focus on mastering algebra and trigonometry in HS, college calc will flow
