[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is at a top LAC and is struggling with Calc 2 (he already did Calc 1 last semester and did ok). He had a bumpy first semester as a freshman and is now stressed out about this semester because of Calc 2. He is talking about transferring as he feels like he does not belong in the college academically (socially happy). He came from a rigorous private and did well, although [b]always weaker in math but made it through to Calc [/b]and did fine. Plenty of APs with good grades. We were surprised at how much he struggled first semester at college. He wants to do sciences/pre med so is required to take Calc 2 for this course. Any advice?[/quote]

how weak? what was the PSAT score in 9 or 10th (ie no prep). Did he take Calc-AP-AB as a senior, or BC? or just regular calc?
Weaker in math in high school is somewhat concerning for premed, as is the bumpy first semester. Is he a sophomore now? How was second semester freshman? What were the Gen Chem grades?[/quote]
