you didn’t mention what kind of college you go to (4 year or community). but if you go to a 4 year college, try taking the math credit at the local community college during your summer break. or even, during the academic year, at the community college closest to your actual college.

usually community colleges do not grade as tough and they often have smaller class sizes for the intro-level classes. but the main thing is, even if you still don’t do that well at the community college, all you need is a “pass” and you will be done with that math course–the actual grade will not show up on your college gpa. (this is called a “transfer credit.” you will be able to get an application for this at your school–but make sure you check equivalencies BEFORE you sign up for a class, just to make sure it will be accepted.)

now the only problem with this is, if you already are going to a community college…you dont’ really have this option. maybe try to take the course with a different prof. maybe they won’t all have the A, B, E grading scale, which does sound awfully tough.

as for skipping out of it entirely…probably not very likely. talk to your counselor for whatever your major is, or usually there are counselors at each college–college of science, college of art, etc.

I guess the question is why are you having so much difficulty in math? Is it a true learning disability where you’re transposing numbers or is it more of a psychological thing that you’ve got yourself convinced that you suck at it so it becomes a self fulfilling prophesy? What kind of math did you take to get through High School? Can you kind of start there? Is there a more “practical” math that you could take that actually means something to you – how to calculate compouding interest on your mortgage kind of thing – something you’d actually use in real life? It might be more of a drive to learn it.

The suggestion to take it at a local community college and transfer it in is a good one, if your school would let you. (The school I went to did not allow ANY transferred credits, though you could test out of mandatory classes.)

A suggestion. Go in and see the prof during office hours. Explain your situation, your frustration, see if the prof doesn’t know what you’re doing wrong. Express that you really do want to do well.

Oh and in general, you’ll have to major in some kind of liberal arts so you don’t have to take any more math. All the sciences will require more.

Good luck.

Have you attempted the Math Learning Center? Or the incapacity aid carrier? See hyperlink beneath. I might be incorrect, however I do not feel there is any handy method out of this requirement: Entry Skill a million Basic Math­ematics Competence. Ask to be definite, despite the fact that. In regular, the one method out of necessities akin to math and composition is to experiment out of them by way of doing very good on a SAT, ACT, CLEP, AP, and so on. experiment. Iou might must switch to another tuition that may provide you extra support with studying math. Some faculties have “specified schooling” to be had for pupils with studying disabilities, however I do not feel that is an choice at Stony Brook. There are a few faculties that waive the mathematics requirement for pupils with dyscalculia and a few with specified methods for pupils with studying disabilities. See hyperlinks for extra understanding. Be definite to learn the feedback phase on the final hyperlink.

You can’t skip it if you want a real degree. The lowest one can usually take is a math for liberal arts students and even that requires prereqs to the algebra II level. If you want to be any kind of science major then you’ll need substantially more math.

there is no way u have to pass math thats the most important subject try studying with a study group

I’m going to say this

what worked for me was “do it right the first time so you don’t do it again”
