no not really =) If you are asking about how hard Pre-Calculus is in high school, it is not hard.It is just a more tedious version of Algebra, where you deal with ugly fractions and decimals and do more complex factoring and stuff like that. You will learn some new topics, like trigonometry, long division of polynomials, remainder theorem, and limits, but you will probably not learn these until the second half of the semester. If you want to prepare, practice not using your calculator when you do algebra problems, know your algebra material pretty well, be comfortable dealing with fractions, and learn basic trigonometry (like sin = opposite/hypotenuse, cos = adjacent/hypotenuse, and tan= opposite/adjacent) from Khan Academy or some other site.
