How am I supposed to pass calc 1??

Hi everyone,

I'm really struggling with Calc 1, and I could really use some advice. I have a very minimal background in calculus and algebra, and every time I try solving problems, I just feel stupid. I know I probably shouldn't have procrastinated this long, but my midterm (content is limits and derivatives) is next week. I’m starting to panic because I feel like I’m not making any progress and I’m also worried about how this might (most certainly will) wreck my GPA.

I’m doing my best to study, but I don’t know if there’s a better way to approach this. Does anyone have tips or strategies that worked for them? Any resources, study methods, or even just encouragement would really help.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
