AI Thread Summary
Passing calculus 1 and physics 1 with scores just below one standard deviation for electronic engineering indicates a solid foundation, but it is crucial to remain vigilant. The consensus is that the difficulty of courses will increase, and complacency can lead to challenges in understanding more advanced concepts. Maintaining a strong work ethic and continuous study habits is essential to succeed in math, physics, and engineering disciplines.

I've passed calculus 1 and physics 1 scoring little less than 1 stdev for electronic engineering. Is this enough for me to relax I'll do well on the course or things will get harder?

I'd say things will definitely get harder.

Giving into the temptation to relax when it comes to math, physics, and engineering will bite you very quickly down the line.
 
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
