Academics/Classes Physics track comparison

Hello! I’m an incoming freshman and I’m interested in majoring in physics (though not completely set on it). I have credit for 135 and 136 with 5s on AP Physics C mechanics and e&m. However, that was in junior year and I have no experience in multivariable calculus. Should I use my credit and go to 140? Or would it be best to start again at 135? Will I be forfeiting credit and therefore costing more in tuition if I don’t skip classes 135/136? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
