Tentacruel Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 So I just started Pre-Cal, and remembered it's been 2 years since I took College Algebra and a year and a half since I failed Pre-Cal the first time I took it. (by not studying at all) [/shame] So anyway, it's gonna be hard to keep up. Discuss math [u]classes. [/u] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 You failed Pre-calc the first time you took it? I took Pre-calc when I was only 14 and got an A on the first try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 It was called Algebra 2 in 8th grade, but Pre Calc wasn't much harder than it so I call it Pre-Calc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Exodia Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm going into Algebra 1(Honors in 7th Grade, I might add.) with a Graphing Calculator, and i'm actually rather scared, but determined. An odd feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP already mentioned that they didn't study for it, obviously you're going to fail it if you do not study for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uchiha Sasuke XII Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I always get 70-something, so it pulls down my GPA (yes, GPA) to 3.8-3.9. Not very nice when I get #97 in the entire grade because of some wierd numbers and formulas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Phoenix Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Guize, I checked myself out of the hospital immediately after I was born. I had some construction bridges to design.

The Amazing Avian Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm taking Pre-Calc this year and the teacher has a reputation for being strict. As in even the delinquents who got in despite having failed the year before actually try to pass it. This does not bode well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabHelmet Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 What confuses me most is that you took a math class at college that was at a [i]lower[/i] level than pre-calc. I don't think my school even offers classes at a lower level than what high schools call Calc AB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar Origins Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Taking Algebra 2 in tenth grade (I'm 15) , just finished Geometry (9th grade) with flying colors. The only reason I'm not in a higher math is because I f***ed up in 6th grade, where they place you as advanced or not. I'm no honor student- just average. Although I am quite skilled with computers. I am already a licensed web-designer and have a client asking me to design one for him for 300$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hated Maths, needed it for Astromony at Uni (back when I thought I'd go), failed it, took it at AS again, just scrapped it, tried it at A2 and decided screw that and picked up Travel and Tourism instead.

Lonk Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Math is annoying for me. Always trying to calculate so that you will not make a wrong mistake and then you see people finish before you. Then, I get rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesirson Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I have no idea about these English terms for math classes. the only thing I know is that I'm 17 (whatever class that means I'm going to in English lands) and I've never failed a math class.

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I am very passionate about my hatred towards math. For my stats for finals at the end of the year, [i]every single subject[/i] is in Advance, and you no where my math is at? Below basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCyae Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I'm apparently really good at maths, and I do enjoy it, but I usually rush a bit. Damn. I did a Maths Test not to recently. ICAS or some sh*t. Pretty good stuff, except the last question, you had to write an answer yourself, rather than multiple choice. DAMN. I failed those questions epically, I'll say.

Cin Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 All elements of Maths are usually taught under one title in the UK (in terms of a lesson), although it tends to just be Non Calculator, Arithmetic and Calculator to GCSE (14-16) and at A Level Pure, and Statistics at 16-18. Different exam boards do it differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I went from Pre-Calc last year to Stats AP this year. From finding cosecants to counting M&Ms... hey, I need one easy class this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
