  5. DO I HAVE TO TAKE MATH? • In your grade 10 year, take a serious look at university and college prerequisites • If they require or recommend math or science, take the prerequisite in grade 11 so that you can take it in grade 12 • If math is not required for your program of choice, and you suck at math, don’t take it! • The only way you can make this decision wisely is if you do your research • You don’t want to skip math and then have to come back for grade 13 because you found out too late that you needed it
