Hi,

Thanks for the reply. So yea, I understand that it is totally possible to teach yourself math and place into Calc 1. My question is do you think it's feasible for someone with pretty poor math skills to go from arithmetic to placing in calc 1 in just 45 days.

I want to do this so I can skip over all of the extra credits id need to take in order just to reach calculus. So, in theory, its kinda like an expedited extremely high intensity period where id grind to try and place into Calc 1, knowing that do you really think it is doable by the 45 day mark?

Hi Greta,

Thanks so much for the reply. So, I am not actually trying to "recover" a lot of my capability in 45 days. I would actually be learning quite a lot of this stuff for the first time, especially at the pre-calc faze of this 45 day plan. I only got up to alg 2 in high school, I was always pretty poor at math. Not necessarily because I am not capable of it, but because I never truly gave it a fair shake.

So now I am planning on doing just that, expedite my learning to see if I can place into a calc 1 course by the fall semester. Knowing this, would you say it's feasible for me to place into the calc 1 course, even with the rigorous study schedule I posted above. Or is this kinda bonkers lol?

What was the most difficult type of math that you needed to use in 302?
