I got a C in trig and was just wondering if I should retake the class to get a better grade?

@MOState22:

It depends on if the course is a prerequisite and what your overall GPA is. If you are competitive otherwise it is unlikely to matter. If it's a prerequisite (I can't imagine that it is), you should repeat it. If it's a prerequisite for other required courses for your PT program shortlist, you should certainly consider it.

Is that a prereq anywhere?

I can't think of any school in which trig is even a prereq.

Retaking prereqs is always good if you have the time and money. Retaking nonprereqs is always a waste of time and money. It won't help your chances in any noticeable way.

I wouldn't.

The only reason you would want to retake it is to make sure you have the skills you need to pass physics I and II. Trigonometry and pre-calculus are essential for those classes.
