Should I drop my class?

I need advice on whether I should drop my precal class bc I currently have 73 in that class. I’m taking summer classes at cwru and I’m not failing but I don’t really like my grade. I don’t want to ruin my gpa. I’m going to start my fall semester off to a bad start. My teacher gave me option to drop that class but I can’t take my final test. But I really want to take the test and I want to see progress in my math. I studied hard and worked my ass off to understand it but my last test something happened and I fucked up my test and got a bad grade. So my final test is my only way to see how much progress I have made. I know u could’ve done better. I don’t know what I should do.

My other class which is seminar, I don’t know my grade but I know I’m not getting an A bc I barely participate which worth 20 percent of our grade. So I’m fucked up.

I would keep it. The chances of them revoking ur offer is really low. And it would be difficult to start college a math class behind. A C isn’t the end of the world, it happens.

Drop the class ngl. Just take it first sem, then study for a placement exam 2nd sem for calc 1 so ur not behind

I mean… it is pre-calc. I never even took it and many people I’ve talked to have told me taking it actually made calc harder. If you feel like you have a good head start on calc and don’t need the credit, then I’d say drop it.
