I dying in summer school math. Help!

[AP]

I pay attention in class, take notes and spend at least 5 hours everyday finishing the homework. Yet I'm still getting probably the lowest grade in the class.

So far I'm getting
100% on the homework
70% unit 1 quiz
60% Unit 1 Test
1% Unit 2 quiz

Wth, seriously I do all my homework and spend an assload of time on it and I still get ****en literally 1% on a quiz. I got every ****en thing wrong, but got marks for attempting. Holy ****en shit.

Now theres a unit 2 test coming up in less than a day.

This is my daily schedule, wakeup, review math while eating lunch, school, 1 hour to relax, eat dinner, do math until the middle of the night, sleep.

**** I dont even have a summer vacation now.
Any suggestions of wth I'm doing wrong and how to fix it?

I hope for your dignity sake you're in a math class thats somewhere beyond trig III or advanced diagnostics on tranisions of metals or something in that level.

 

[jaimekoivu]

well what math is it?
pre-calc?
calc?

last summer i did 536 (as it is known in quebec, which is the highest math before calc) and I slept during my tutorings and got 80% on the exam, which as an old june exam...
seriously tho, what is it....
functions? logs? identities?......?????
I dropped calculus the first day of school so i cant help you with that
was the best decision i made, going to political science

Wow, you are failing at life. WTF? You need to cheat more and get higher scores OR get some asian to do your work for you. i'd get the asian if I were you. they are uber smart.

 

[Johnny]

1. Find the asian kids.
2. Sit next to them.

At this point, its your only hope.

 

[AP]

Its ****en math 12.

I cant cheat in that class, i tried.

the shit i got 1 percent on was like sin/cos functions ex: y=4sin5(x-h)+k etc and some shit taht had to do with a circle and sine/cosine


Edit: **** it was 10%, not 1%..

**** its still feels the same. 1.5 / 15

****, so much homwork in summer school and everything is rushed like hell. ****

So you're fialing the equivilent to Algebra two?

 

[AP]

I dunno wth algebra 2 is, im not in us

I think im on the borderline.

Okay wth can I do?

I'm already spending an assload of time on it.

Serious suggestions, not like suck dick etc or steal the mark book,

 

[Wing Zero]

can you do the problems with out looking at notes?

 

[AP]

can you do the problems with out looking at notes?

I think there's my problem.

I can do most of without my notes 90%

That still wouldn't explain my 10% quiz mark.

If I knew how to do most of them i should at least be getting 75%

 

[PauseBreak]

Get Jason in here now! This is an emergency!

 

[Malcom Sex]

If you're getting perfect marks on the homework, you should be getting perfect marks on the quizzes. Its honestly not that hard.

 

[Wing Zero]

well its easy to do homework when you have something to refer too to help and check. problem is with that you will most likely end up trying to teach yourself again during tests.

This guy knows exactly what I'm going through.

 

[jaimekoivu]

oh so it is math 536
in quebec they let you have a cheat sheet...
Ah well...
what you should do is memorize the formulas, like how do u know if the parabola is wide/narrow, etc....
its not that hard... trig functions just know the base formula and know what the coefficients mean/change the function

So you're fialing the equivilent to Algebra two?

thats not algebra II... its trig. Trig ****in sucks man. Half the course is memorizing the information the other is to have a decent teacher.

 

[AP]

I think my teacher is pretty decent.
He only shows us the short cuts to do things though b/c of time.

**** yeah theres a lot of memorization.

Any more tips??????????
(such as on probability which will be one of the hardest thingsi n the course)

 

[N[U]TS]

4 me it was proofs. memorize and practice -- eventually it will set in.

 

[Dragnskull]

dont take it too hard. not everyones good at math...i for one suck balls at it.

 

[AP]

Okay I hired a tutor.
Pretty expensive and I'm not sure it will be too effective.
Reason being hes only available once a week (Sunday ) and in one week we begin and end a chapter (w/ test and quiz)

So I pretty much have to learn everything from the coming week Sunday.

Also I dont know the guy. Found him on the internet. What if hes a murder? lol, seriously.
