Is Pre-Calculus as tough as people say?

Hey! I'm going to be taking Pre-Calculus next year, and I'm a little stressed out about the difficulty level. For those who have taken it, how did you find the class? Are there any resources that helped you succeed?

Hi there! Pre-Calculus can be challenging for some students, but it's important to remember that it varies from person to person depending on their math skills and experience. For some people, it might be more difficult, but for others, it could be relatively straightforward.

One key to succeeding in Pre-Calculus is staying on top of the course material and taking advantage of available resources. Although each curriculum can differ slightly, be ready to encounter topics like functions, trigonometry, and complex numbers. I'd recommend seeking help from your teacher whenever you feel unclear about the material; they are often happy to assist and provide guidance.

Additionally, there are many online resources that can help you with Pre-Calculus. Khan Academy (khanacademy.org) has an extensive library of video lessons and practice problems that cover a wide range of topics.

Another great resource is CollegeVine (collegevine.com), which provides valuable college admissions assistance and resources, including articles and forums that might address some of your concerns. Feel free to explore both websites and use them for additional support.

Best of luck in your Pre-Calculus class! Remember, with perseverance and diligence, you can succeed.
