1. I am a freshman at UCI
2. From what i have read both on here and heard elsewhere, LEARN the material while you are taking the course and learn for the knowledge not for the A.
With those two premises, i pose forth a question...
I am taking Physics during the third quarter of my freshman year. According to the plan advised by the Biological Sciences department, physics should be taken during the third year. Clearly i am not following this plan. And What about calculus. Most Medical schools want to see calculus done in college and do not accept AP credit. When is the best time to take Calculus during one's university education or does it not matter?
What do you guys think?
Is physics tough on the MCAT?
If i take Physics almost one year in advance, relative to the plan advise by the School of Biological Sciences, would that be a wise move?
I understand that no matter how "fresh" the material be in your head, you will still need to review. So does it honesly matter when you take whichever class as long as you comprehensively learn the material and put it into your long term memory?
