wow, i guess i was able to look from a different perspective. i'm in analysis right now (adv. precal/ honor precal.. same thing) and my class, imo, is going wayyy too slow. only two people have A's in them. I just never understood why the people who didn't take adv trig or something decide to take adv precal and slow the class down. the only reason i know is that taking honors will look good on their transcript. no offense, i'm just curious.. is that also your reason?
and also, since it's your first test.. don't be so disappointed. compare it to your other classmates and ask your teacher. if it's normal to fail the first test, i think u'll be fine. do you think you can understand it later?? since you are struggling with trig, do you think you can catch up? personal tutor could work. i'd never had one though.. so can't help you there. ask your teacher for guidance, maybe? they usually know your strength if they're good.
you can pm me if you have any questions.
Lowest test score in the class and in my history. There's 2 tests left and 1 final, if i do well on the final, my teacher will drop the lowest test score and replace it with what I got on the final. I'm not even suppose to be in Honors since this class is for people that took honors alg. II the previous year and I never took it which left me in difficulty of understanding trig for the first time. I'm struggling with trig like hell, I dont understand the word problems or anything. And our class is FAST PACE since our school schedule goes by blocks, which we only have 9 weeks of class per block and it alternates with different classes. Ugh, I'm thinking...my gpa is around 3.77-3.8 (around there) and if this F goes on my report card, I'll be doomed. Should I drop the class? And if I do...would this grade transfer to my other class? Or should I keep struggling and hope for a C or B. I'm studying but these stuff are hard to understand
