There's only so much you can blame the pandemic for. You can say that you weren't given proper instruction, but that excuse does not go very far when you have the internet available to you. I've seen the resources available, and even the most popular are good enough to get you through any 'college' level course. You hardly even need to be an expert at evaluating quality to get there either.
But really, universities should grow a spine and reject students who do not meet their supposed 'high bar'.
I do find it really strange for someone to ace "honors physics" to then fail qualifications for intro calculus. Seems that credit is highly suspect.
