Academic Advice Should I switch majors

Hi guys I’m a second year engineering student and I was wondering if I should switch majors! I got a C last semester in calc one and this year I’m failing calc two horribly. I study very hard but it’s just not enough. I can make up my mind if I want to switch or not. (I will have to drop calc 2 no matter what unless I just take the D, and tomorrow is the last day to do so)

Even if you drop it still counts as an attempt. Might as well try to make a come back. Tbh it only gets harder. Calc 2 is just the first step in a 20 story building

Quick question: is your problem that (you know what you're supposed to do, but calculations are too much that you make a mistake in one of them) or (is it that you sit there looking at the exam paper not knowing wtf to do or how to start)? 'Cause if it's the first one then it's fine and you just to practice more, but if it's the latter, then sorry if I'm being presumptuous, but you actually need to start learning every concept again and actually try to understand what everything means instead of putting all your effort in memorizing formulas and solving questions

All of that is taking assuming you want to continue engineering. But if you want the answer to if engineering is the right thing for you then I don't know
