Is this a reasonable freshman/sophmore schedule?

Two quick thoughts.

1st) You might get a lot more by hiring a tutor for your Calculus class now and getting the concept of Calculus now instead of waiting to see what happens in college.

You get to choose a tutor that fits with your learning style and personality.

Individualized instruction instead of massive 101 lectures.

Better GPA now and going into college knowing you can do it, instead of hoping for the best.

2nd) The first years of college should be a time of exploration and interest discovery.

Retaking classes robs you of your valuable time and energy. It may seem like a safe bet now but it will hold you back and frustrate you as your ready to discover more…

(No matter what the cost of your tutor is today, it will be a lot less expensive that using 1/4 of your first year of college for Pre-Calculus).
