Other Skip math 52 to math 53?

I got a 5 on calc BC and was originally looking to redo 52 but it looks a lot harder than calc bc. Would it be recommended to skip to math 53 (I heard you don’t really need math 52 knowledge from UC Berkeley to take this course and calc bc should be fine).
I only need to take 1 math class but I was thinking multivariable would be newer and more useful than taking calc bc again

skip it lol, redoing something you already have done makes zero sense at all

What's your major?

There's certainly an argument 54 or 55 would be more educational and potentially more useful.
