Hello. I'm about to transfer to a four year university from community college and I only have one more math requirement to complete. I took Pre Cal last semester and finished steady with a high B. However, everyone I ask says that Stats is the hardest or one of the hardest classes they've taken. Is Statistics THAT much more difficult than Pre Cal? I'm enrolled in the honors Stats class for this Fall. Any advice or info would be much appreciated.

-Thanks

I have en engineering background, and personally, I do think that Stat is harder than Pre-Cal.



I really did not enjoy lower division Stat. Hard to stay awake, but looking back, I'm really glad that I took it because later on in life it has helped me having that as a foundation.

Well, I think it all depends on what you're good at. I took calculus and got somewhere in the 80s. I took Stats and found it quite difficult and dropped it. Most of the people say Calculus is harder than Stats, but to me, it seems as if it's the opposite. Another thing I should mention that I found to be difficult in Stats were some of the concepts and theories.

Wow, your particularly clever. i'm a freshman in honors instructions, we've been given licensed for IB this twelve months. So i would be taking pre ap/ib next twelve months and after that, all ap/ib. I additionally hate math, it is the only type i've got been given a B in so far this twelve months too! in case you think of u can handle the puzzling instructions, take them, they are going to open doorways for u. something IB will seem stable on a college app form. So choose for it! yet in addition take a style which you delight in, so which you easily delight in h.s. So...delight in h.s, triumph over college and rock existence. those are words from a spectacular instructor i had and im specific it will income every person.
