(I'm about to start my first semester of college after having taken two years off after high school as a gap.)
I deliberately chose incorrect answers on my placement tests, just so I could get into the easier math courses. I'm going to major in English so I don't really want to worry about higher-level mathematics; I want all of my faculty to be focused on literature.
I placed into an Elementary Algebra class as a result, and now I'm here on 4chan to ask you guys about how solid of a foundation my plan rests on. At best, when I leave this CC to transfer into a four-year university, I'll finish a College-level Algebra class.
Would I even need more advanced concepts like calculus or linear algebra to survive in the future? What do you think about what I've done? Should I retest and just take whatever math it puts me in?

I was going to recommend you take the level that you're supposed to, but because you're deliberately going out of your way to underachieve then just stick with it, it's not like you're going to do anything meaningful with the degree or career anyways

I wholeheartedly disagree with your outlook on how I'm going to use my education, but I appreciate your input anyway.
Thanks.
