For my junior year of highschool, I transferred out of AP Calculus BC because my first test grade was bad.

After reading countless threads and posts on this website and others I came across some good advice, but not the advice that I need exclusively. Some background on me: I went to the University of Wyoming this past year and studied Architectural Engineering, I decided that the civilian college...
