Your DoSCALC exam is the key to staying in your program, because you have to pass that in order to stay in your nursing program. So dose CALC is number one now. Second, focus on looking over the material for the first two weeks of classes so you can check out your syllabus or your class calendar and see what topics you're going to be covering in the first two weeks of classes and then start with that.
