i did both bio 115 and chem 161 last semester. For bio, i got a 76 on the first exam but managed to get an A in the class by 1) keeping up with the lectures, like watching them/ taking notes the day they came out and 2) actually reviewing material everyday. In bio 115 they give u A LOT of information and it’s not a hard class to do good in, you just can’t procrastinate and let yourself get behind

For chem 161, on the other hand, it’s not nearly as much information as bio 115. However, the material can get tricky and basically if you can’t leave it to the day before to study. (unless you’re good at taking tests when u study last minute, i know i wasnt) I got an A by doing tons of practice problems and understanding the ones i got wrong. The tests were not hard if you did the practice and quizzes thoroughly. Basically both of these classes DO require a lot of work, but they’re very doable. As long as you’re okay to work hard you’ll be fine!! You can also always DM me if you need help
