Should I consider dropping AP Calculus AB? Any help is appreciated!

Applying to College
1

I just began taking AP Calculus AB and I am already having second thoughts about the class. I have never been very good at math but have managed to get by with an A or B in past classes that have a lower rigor by studying with close friends in the class. I don’t really know anyone in the class, nor would many of the students want to form a study group.

At this time, I don’t know what I want to major in, therefore I do not know how this would change any possible majors I have. I also have 3 other AP classes that I feel I have a better chance of passing compared to AP Calculus.

Sorry, I am just a bit stressed at the moment and just need some second opinions on this decision.

If you need to take calculus for your college major (any science, any engineering, economics, or business), then high school calculus AB will be a slower paced gentler version of calculus than calculus in college (although many colleges also offer a calculus for business majors sequence with somewhat less content).
