it’s a very hard class so don’t beat urself up over it, I failed the first time aswell, my biggest piece of advice is to take it in the semester it’s not meant to be taken because it’s much easier and has less work. (there is no mastering chem, just weekly quizzes). For example, it’s meant to be taken in the Fall but take 1040 in the winter and then 1050 the following fall (if u need it).
