I took Calc 1-3 and did okay (but probably only because my professors typically didn't make the tests/exams too hard). Idk how much I actually retained lol.
I can recommend resources that aid with comprehension* but passive learning isn't going to help all that much with getting a good grade in a math class. You need to consistently practice problems (ones issued by your professor/found in your textbook).
I've found having study sessions with a friend, even over a video call, can help create a sense of accountability and help prevent you from getting distracted. If you can't/don't want to to do that, like someone suggested, there are
online study rooms that serve the same purpose (with audio-only options if you're uncomfortable enabling video).
*A lot of people I knew used
Prof Leonard's lectures. There's also this
3Blue1Brown course that helps provide an intuitive understanding of the subject. I generally prefer textbooks and if you do too I'd suggest trying a couple of different ones (if your prescribed textbook doesn't work for you). Also, this isn't calculus-specific but
A Mind for Numbers is a good book on techniques to learn math/science efficiently.
I passed with a C somehow, but calc made me genuinely want to jump out the window in my dorm. Would start to think "oh wait I think I get it!" And then I had to take a test and no, no I never did get it. Am a stem major too and I had more fun taking organic chemistry than calc,,but yah, good luck and hope you do pass!!!
