According to the UMPI transfer database, that course transfers as Calculus I and works for 3A and 3B in GE.

Guys, doing Sophia's first two Math courses: Intro to College Maths -> College Algebra prepare you enough before doing Calculus? As Sophia doesn't have a Precalculus course.

Maybe. Maybe not. You can take a look at the content and see if it even makes sense to you. If you don't feel confident, you could take ASU's pre calculus for $25 and then NOT pay to transcript it.

I've been working my way through Precalc on Sophia. Not 100% convinced that it's sufficient for Calculus. But it's at least a step in the right direction! I'll reserve full judgement until I've been through both.

I took Sophia Calculus.
First I started with the Fundamental College Algebra and Statistics.
Then I moved onto the College Algebra and College Statistics.
Then I set aside a weekend where I told myself I would do nothing but Calculus on Sophia.
I started Saturday morning at 0400, and worked until 0200 in the morning on Sunday. It was about 18 hours of actual Sophia time when you subtract time for eating and other breaks.
I slept for 4 hours, got up at 0600 Sunday, and worked another 15 hours.
Finished it in 2 days, barely passed. Took 33 hours of actual work.
By far the hardest class out of the 41 I've taken on Sophia.

I have zero experience in Calculus. Is your only math background those sophia classes you listed?

I took some College Level math in my Navy schools, but no calculus.
I did watch many youtube video's prior to starting the class, and bought a calculus rules study sheet.

That's amazing thanks for the feedback. It sounds like the calculus is just as rigorous as SL's. However, unless I'm mistaken, you went directly to calculus without taking precalculus!
