4- Classes

Awesome! Pre-med classes (math & sciences) are the hardest simply because of the class curves. It doesn’t matter how well you do but how well you relative to your classmates so that can get a little discouraging. I’m starting my sciences next semester but my friends say the hardest part are the tests. Also each class covers a lot of material so keeping up with the chapters and notes will do you a lot of good. also go to office hours. If the teachers know you and know you’re trying they might boost your grade up a little bit. My friend in my Math class always went to office hours and the Prof. saw her effort and promised not to take her below a C.
I took Intro to Psych and Math 103. Intro to Psych is really easy as long as you read the chapters you’re guaranteed at least a B. The material in Math 103 was simple but the tests were difficult. I went to a public high school so it took me a while to get used to the types of questions they asked.
