My first accounting course :/

Gonna start my first accounting course in college (Financial Accounting), but my school says only 65% of students succeed in completing the course without taking Small Business Accounting first (after taking it’s 95%), but this class isn’t required for the major. If I took it I’d have to pay more and work more.

So should I take the Small Business Accounting course first? Does anyone have experience with either of these courses?

Honestly I’m thinking of skipping it and just watching some courses on YouTube to prepare me for Financial Accounting.
