<p>Doing well in later classes will erase doubts. You will still be looking at a slightly lower gpa. I disagree that it rules you out. Perhaps your teacher’s rigor will pay off and you will find yourself very well prepared for your later classes. It seems you need to gain confidence in test taking and dealing with your teacher. Maybe stay after class and let her know you are interested in doing your best and try to get some tips on what she thinks you can work on.</p>
<p>My daughter had precalc in 11th but calc BC in 12th. So didn’t have as early a track as you but got farther. Your plan is fine, though.</p>
<p>Make sure you go over each test after you take it and understand what you should have done better. Do all your homework and problem sets. Ask for extra problem sets if you think that will help you prep for your tests better. Or see if she has old tests you can do self timed.</p>
