      I think the additional rules isn't the hard part for most people, it's the problems that come on exams that require you to actually understand the theory and apply it to a word problem.

      Edit: thinking more about this, on my Calc 1 final I had a problem I'm sure a lot of students saw and immediately moved on.

      Let f(x) = e^x. If F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x) and g(x) is a derivative of (f), then find the derivative of the function F(x)-g(x)

      It's obviously a really really easy problem and the math on it is nothing but d/dx[(e^x + C) - e^x] = d/dx( C ) = 0. But the fact you need to know what all those words mean together is IMO what makes calc a hurdle for most people.
