What are my other options besides continuing with High School?

I took the California High School Proficienty Exam, but I most definately failed the math. I am going to eleventh grade. I failed Geometry at my old school because they were testing out this new way of teaching it (long story). Now I am at a public school taking Geometry during the summer and I do not know how to do it because it is a REVIEW class, and I did not learn most of Geometry. I cannot take the GED yet because I am not 18 yet. What should I do?

Honestly, your best best bet if you’re serious about passing this is to actually review the chapters before the lesson. Read each chapter before you go in to learn the lesson, and you’ll see that what’s being explained makes sense. I was the same way in high school, trust me. I don’t think I ever read anything out of my math book (And I had a hrd time), but now I’m in college, and I have historically had a hard time with math. My professor recomended reading each chapter before we go into the lesson, and it makes a world of difference. Even if I didn’t understand something while reading, once my professor showed the lesson, most of the time I responded with “oh, so that’s how it’s done”, instead of “what did he just do?”

You should not quit high school. Everyone has a subject that just throws them, so you are not alone. My son had the same problem with geometry, he was getting 20’s – 40’s on all of his test. His problem was that he wasn’t a good test taker when it came to math, he knew the work but couldn’t seem to get it out when it came time for the exam. What I did with him was had him go over each lesson over and over until he knew the work like the back of his hand. We got books from the Library on Geometry and also used this site http://regentsprep.org/ it helped alot. He started getting 80’s and a 91 on his future tests. It doesn’t take long, it just takes a commitment. Also ask for tutoring help in your school. I hope this helps.

P.S. you don’t have to do it all at once, pick a section and work on it for at least a 1/2- 1hour a day and you should do better.

College is the most important waste of time and cash. I am evidence, I have three levels and are not able to discover some thing after a 12 months, plus I’m unemployed from the dull task I had. I want I under no circumstances went to tuition and received a task after prime institution. Experience is the whole lot. I assurance any task will take a prime institution graduate with a million 12 months revel in over a PhD scholar. How you get that have is a thriller however the factor is every body is within the equal function. Find some way into a task and after a at the same time you’ll be able to be equipped to transport up and if no longer you’re going to have the revel in component to discover a brand new task. College=Useless Experience=Everything High School Diploma, AA, BS, PhD no change You’ll waste time no longer getting revel in in the event you cross to tuition. When you are completed you simply have a ton of debt and have got to beg to get a dishwashing task for six$/hr It’s horrible Find a task if you’ll be able to. A tuition measure is not going to support you with that besides. plus, schooling is loose in the event you desire to be trained some thing

You should read the chapters several times and do reviews at the end of the each chapter. Read every day. Please do not drop out of school. I have a hard time understanding History so totally understand about failing. I barely pass history in high school. I like biology, health, and English type classes. My favorite subject is Psychology. I passed college algebra with an A and I am terrible in math. I studied 4-8 a day for that A. You can do!
