Hey, I couldn't really find an answer to my question. I struggle with math and was considering taking Calc I as P/F. I've taken Pre-Calc and gotten an B+ and Stats and gotten an A, do you think theres a problem in taking Calc P/F? For the most part, DO schools don't require Calc I, so I just wanted some input on the idea. I think it'd be better doing P/F than getting a C and lowering my GPA.

Thanks

Why not just take Calc I...it seems like you have done pretty well in math courses so far. I've never actually heard of a P/F math course before, so I may not be the best person to answer your question.
 
I am in Calc I currently, but am struggling and wanting to change it a P/F class. Any thoughts?

Thanks

If you take it P/F, it won't carry as much weight for you down the line, whereas if you take it traditionally, and do well, it'll help you out significantly more.

If I were you I would just take it for the grade, I think it might look better getting a B than a pass, but that's just my opinion. Good Luck!
