Statics is just advanced Physics 1, in hindsight. The difficulty depends on how comfortable you are with all of Physics 1 (Mechanics) and how spaced apart you took it and Physics 1. At the university I attended, Physics 2 was covered in a semester after Physics 1, so yo'd have a semester plus a summer since you took Physics 1. If you take Statics over the summer the material from Physics 1 will be a bit easier to remember.

Statics is eeeeezy. Sum your forces in X and Y and sum your moments right. Trusses and multipoint anchors and pulleys are fun.

I double majored in math and Econ, admittedly with a great math background from high school and my senior year math class I took at a local* college, and I found stats to be a joke.
*local geographically, but nationally very well known

Bro, statics….not stats
Wow. Didn’t see that. Took physics 1 and 2 as required by my college but it wasn’t that bad. Though statics is more difficult obviously
I had a couple physics grad students in my 1st year Russian classes. They are expected to be able to converse with other physicists (Germans and Russians, mainly)
They weren't good at foreign language and didn't show up for 2nd year. That means they can't really understand Russian physicists.
The Russian physicists know this about American physics students, and laugh about it.
