I took AP Calculus in high school, but didn't take the test to try to get the credits and skip it in college. That was a bonehead move. Mostly I was afraid I would fail the test because I got Cs in it during the year, and didn't have a strong understanding of it.

So I took it a second time in college my Freshman year. I had overconfidence, since I had passed it in high school, so I didn't do the homework. Almost failed that class. The prof gave me a D for the course, and it was totally a gift that she passed me.

I understood a lot of the concepts, but had a hard time doing the equations and problems. It was hard. I should have done the homework and studied in college.
