How do I get better at calculus?
Doing some calculus every day makes you more familiar with concepts, definitions, and theorems. This familiarity will make calculus get easier and easier one day at a time. Find at least one or two other students from your calculus class with whom you can regularly do homework and prepare for exams.
What percentage of students fail first semester Calculus?
The last time I taught first semester calculus 41\% of the 61 students in the class ended up with grades of C or worse.

How well are high school students prepared for college calculus?
Here’s some more data. 82\% of the students in the class had a semester or more of calculus in high school, and 73\% had a year or more of calculus in high school. (35\% even had a year of AP Calculus.) By all accounts, this is a group that is well-prepared for college calculus.
Do I need intense algebra to learn calculus?

How long does it take to learn calculus online?

So many teachers only take cares about showing the plug and play formulas and do not care about showing when to use those for a specific problem.
