yes. as the name implies, pre-calculus is essential in Calculus. Much of the trigonometry and the ideas will carry into the carious Calculus classes.

Precalculus is supposed to be a stringent and comprehensive review of both algebra and trigonometry. This is in preparation for calculus which uses both algebra and trig extensively.
I think is better to take precalculus first, then take calculus. When you take calculus, it is better to take it in three different semesters, first caculus1, then calculus2 and 3. If you go step by step, I think is better to appropriate the knowledge. If you have enough time to study, then do not hurry up. However, if you believe in yourself that you can do it, based on your previous knowledge, then do it.
Im still taking Integral Calculus now, but for me, if you dont know Differential Calculus you will not know Integral Calculus, because Integral Calculus need Differential. So, as an answer to that question, ITS FAIR
First, you need to learn how to do calculus. This can be accomplished through either taking a calculus class or figuring it out on your own. Next, you apply what you have learned to the problem, eventually arriving at the answer.
Pre-calculus covers the basics you will need for calculus, including exponents, algebraic formulas and solving equations. Calculus is where mathematics and physics intersect - you can calculate the speed and velocity from a nonlinear function describing the distance traveled at a given time.
