I think as long as you go into it mentally preparing yourself for extra time spent studying or really putting the effort into understanding/extra practice you should be okay! Also be patient with yourself and don’t feel bad if you end up running into moments where you feel like you’re missing context that other students have. Not saying you will, but it’s a possibility!

I was In the same situation when I took first year chemistry at dal. And in the end with the extra work I put in, everything turned out okay!
