why take (stress over and possibly fail) university level physics?

If you want to major in journalism, why take (stress over and possibly fail) university level calculus?

DO I HAVE TO TAKE DO I HAVE TO TAKE MATH?MATH?In your grade 10 year, take a serious look

at university and college prerequisitesIf they require or recommend math or

science, take the prerequisite in grade 11 so that you can take it in grade 12

If math is not required for your program of choice, and you suck at math, don’t take it!

The only way you can make this decision wisely is if you do your research

You don’t want to skip math and then have to come back for grade 13 because you found out too late that you needed it
