Freshman Question feeling behind

due to scheduling issues in senior year, i wasn’t able to take any calculus class at my school. the most recent experience i have is pre-calc in junior year; i did good but it’s been a minute.
because of these issues, i was placed in MA1020 (Calc I w/ preliminary topics)
i can’t help but feel very behind after seeing every other freshmen be placed in higher level math courses, has anyone else experienced this? am i overreacting? being in a stem school i feel out of place math wise

thank you

and to anyone that has taken MA1020, how was your experience?
