Summarizing:

a. You stopped taking math in high school after algebra 2 (and took AP statistics as an elective).
b. You got to college at Wisconsin - Madison and took a placement test which indicated placement into calculus despite not having had precalculus in high school.
c. You took the harder calculus Math 221.
d. You are currently getting a B in the course.

What’s the problem? (It is not required to have had calculus in high school in order to take calculus in college.)
