Calc 3 isn't that hard! You should have gotten a 97%
ETA: True story: I got, on my first two tests in DE, mid 50s. On my second two tests, I got over 100 (bonus points). Know how? I decided I didn't want to fail and so I studied until I knew every concept inside and out. |

And what did you get? Probably right on average. I missed exam day due to work-related BS. Caught up with my newfound study group, and they informed me of what went down in class today (I was taking the test). Calc 2 was a fucking joke compared to this class. Maybe I'm just saying that because I need to devote 87% more time to studying. Definitely not a class to slack in. |

Hell when I got my EE degree Calc II was insanely difficult and Calc III was a breeze.
It helped that I took Diff Eq before Calc III though... yeah, that was fun... |

I am guessing at this point in the semester you haven't even got to the hard stuff yet
Have fun |

Due to alternating evening availability, I wasn't able to take Diff Eq until the spring. 1 crown royal and ice cube down. #2 coming... |

Human A&P last semester, first 3 tests had class average of around 30%. I got 90, 74, 90 on the 3. Final test was a 76....teacher would drop our lowest test score before the final. I ended up with a B- and I didn't have to take the lab with it.

I found calc 3 to be much more difficult than diffeq and partial.

Of course, after this class falls to the wayside, so will the skills temporarily acquired. I'm pursuing a ME degree, so maybe that isn't true, and i'll remain well acquainted with the concepts. If not, does anyone publish a brain teaser "soduku"-like book of calculus problems, so one can stay fresh?

I too decided I didn't want to fail as I scrambled to assemble the knowledge in order to pass the test (which I didn't). Change going forward is: I continue this pace. I'll study math until my brain divides by zero and collapses into a singularity. |

Yeah...just wait for D.E.
I was never so happy to get done with those and into my major (M.E.) |

And you’ll be using your new found skills for at least another 1.5 yrs. I can remember a Heat Transfer test where the avg was low 30’s … it happens |

If you passed Calc II you should be a monster at Calc III...its the same stuff...just "more" of it.

I'm surprised so many people simply don't know how to study effectively. I didn't learn how to study until college. In high school when you spend time in class going over concepts learned the previous year and covering homework problems in class, a reasonably intelligent person doesn't need to study. When I went to college, we only covered homework that gave my classmates trouble and concepts that were fairly complex. I quickly learned to study the material and complete the practice problems so I'd have a basis for the knowledge we covered the next class period. |
