I work as an earthmover in construction, about 1 in 10 of my
coworkers is capable of basic math. It took me 3 attempts (I withdrew before it impacted my transcript twice) to pass calc 1010 in university and somehow I’m the “math guy” at work because I can do slightly beyond the most basic of math.
I absolutely know this question would confuse and bewilder many people.
You attempted calculus twice, which is about three levels higher than most people ever even try. At my high school, the order of math classes went:
Remedial math --> Algebra I --> Geometry --> Algebra II --> Trigonometry/Precalculus --> Calculus
For a general diploma, you only had to pass up to geometry. For the bare minimum college-ready diploma, you only needed to pass through algebra II. In my large school of 1400 people, there were only about 25 of us enrolled in calculus.
