I’m a freshman going into econ, but i want to declare haas. I know that haas regards a high gpa as very important, so i’m unsure if I should skip 16a. How much harder would 16B be and could I feasibly get an A in it? I’ve taken a look at the calc 16a tests and i’ve learned most of the material (except business calc and a few other concepts). Just how much does math 16b build upon 16a and test 16a’s concepts?

On one hand, I want to take 16B in the fall since that’s one prereq fulfilled sooner and more schedule freedom later on, but I want to be sure I could succeed. I’m not really a math person–I can learn well, but I need more time than some people to do hw and to learn material. Suffice it to say math is not my strong suit, it takes more effort than normal for me.

So What’s your opinion? If you were in my situation, would you skip?

Note: (i don’t know my calc AB exam for certain, but I have a feeling it’s a 4 or 3. I know if I get a 3, I shouldn’t skip 16a)

Thank you in advance!!
