Hardest Prerequisite

Chemistry made both AP I and II seem easy.

Microbiology, but I think I put more into a&p, especially to ace the practicals

So far all have seemed easy to me, albeit I believe its because the effort I've put forth has been assidious. I'm taking Chemistry this fall so I'm interested to see if it would be relatively facile as well.

Chem hands down. Not that Chem is extremely hard, it's just the hardest pre-req. At my college only 55% of the students pass the course the first time around, but again I think alot of it comes to the sheer volume of work that Chem demands.

Chemistry! Hated it..didn't get it at all. I'm good at math, so that wasn't the issue.

Pottery. Yep. I thought for sure it was going to keep me out of nursing school, I was so bad at it I thought I was going to have to repeat it!

A &P made me study like I never did before. However, taking Chem during the same time(in a 8 week summer session) made everything even harder.

Organic Biochemistry was awful for me... not really that hard to wrap my head around if I organized my time and memorized things within an inch of my life, but it took me a good month of the semester to find my groove and figure out how to take the exams for my Chem professor. Also, my professor also only gave us a max of 30 questions per exam, so it was pretty easy to get a low grade if you didn't perform well on a particular test.

A&P was so interesting that I didn't mind the insane amount of reading and lab-work involved.

Microbiology was kind of cool because I like to look under the microscope...and I loved playing with the idea of adding different types of bacteria to the different mediums. (I loved the lavender color of the Litmus milk after it reacted lol!).

Sociology, Psychology, English and Math were a lot of work as well...but I loved Developmental Psychology-- it involved writing about 5 papers, but all-in-all I really got a lot out of it.

For me it was Statistics. UC Davis made an intro stats class pretty challenging
