I’ve received a letter within the mail informing me that I’m have the option of taking English 1PA. I was originally placed in English 5, however, I wouldn’t mind progressing directly to English 1B in the winter if I pass the class with a “c” or better. I’m not sure if I should follow up on this offer though solely because I’m unsure of what the class is like and a friend notified me that if I failed Eng 1PA, I’m basically screwed.

Can anyone provide some more information as well as a recommendation on what to take?
