should i take geometry instead of algebra 1 again??

I teach geometry and I can tell you it is different for everyone. Usually if you were great in Algebra, Geometry turns out to be hard. Its all because it is a new way of thinking. You have to train your brain to think abstractly and problem solve. So if you did greta on problem solving in algebra then I would say give it a try. But I would not recommend taking Geometry as a 9th grader. Usually at this time in life your brain may not be developed to handle abstact thinking and no matter what you do, the material will always seem out of reach. \n\nYou have 4 years in high school. You dont need to rush the math.

Get a tutor, get your parents to help you, read through the chapter in your Algebra book that you're currently doing, if your school has extra help with teachers go to the help sessions, study with your friends, form a study group, and do the extra practice problems for the current chapter in the back of your book for learning how to do the equations and stuff. I am also in your same grade doing Algebra 1 Honors. Hehe, I should take my own advice!

Statistics is not any harder than algebra.  It requires a little different sort of thinking, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy.  Go for it!  You'll do fine.

Don't believe it when people tell you that you don't need to know geometry or algebra.  Depending on what you do in your life you may never have to prove that angles A and B are the same and you may never have to solve for X, but that doesn't mean that algebra and geometry aren't useful.\n\nThe purpose of learning math isn't so much to know math itself (although for some that's essential).  It's more about teaching you how to think.  Studying math helps you to think logically and dispassionately.  That can serve you well in life.\n\nAlso, algebra and geometry teach you how to think abstractly.  People who can't think abstractly tend to be very limited in their thinking and in their lives in general.  If everything you think about has to be concrete and obvious, you are going to be a very narrow person.\n\nIn my opinion, passing basic algebra should be an exit requirement for high school.

You'll be fine. They are three totally different classes. Calc III is usually considered easier than Calc II. Linear Algebra is pretty easy. Stat isn't bad either. Good luck.

Well, my worst class was Math(OW!, my head..Algebra hurts) , but my most boring subject ever was 9Th grade history. All about the 1800s, and the famous movements we've all heard about. The boring part was watching these endless videos and then had tests on them. Guess what? I failed those tests. Plus, I also absolutely refused to write an autobiography about my past at the beginning of the school year(personal...don't ask...I MEAN that!!!), and lost homework assignments,which ending up giving me a c for the  semester(Seriously, if a C(algebra grade) is considered FAILING in high school, and you end up with a P, um..not pretty). Now, if you ended up with a C for the year(which I ended with two Cs...Transitional Math and U.S. History I , and C is failing, then ,well,..I don't know...It's not important. Besides, this isn't part of your question. Sorry, went off on a SLIGHT(yes, slight) tangent there. Anyway, your question was: What was your most boring subject ever:\nMine is U.S. History I.

Do you mean what math class should you take after highschool?  It depends how far you got in highschool.  You could take College Algebra and Trig, or you may be ready to take Precalculus or even Calculus.  Statistics is also a type of math class which is needed for many majors and can be taken first year college if all prerequisites are met.  \n\nBest of luck.

I took both AP English and Calculus my senior year of High School.  I skipped honor English and got an A in my AP class every term.  The grade depends on both your teacher and the materials that you learn.  The AP test changes every year, they never reuse a test.  The same goes for the AP Calculus test as well.  It just depends on how well you study, learn and take tests.  If you decide to take both classes but think that you will not pass the test you do not have to take it and the class will still count as the needed credit.  But don't worry if you have a good teacher and like the material that you are learning you will have no problem with the test.  Also, when you take the test don't go into it thinking that you will fail or that it is going to be super hard because then your setting yourself up for failure.  My AP classes in High School were the funnest classes that I had and I loved taking them.  I took both tests at the end of the school year and I passed the Calc test but not the English test but I still had fun taking the class.

Hell, yes. Proofs = ack! Anyone who says geometry is "easy" is lying. Even if you do good in it, it's still not "easy" for a high schooler.

Algebra 2 is usually 2nd year Algebra.  You cannot take #2 until you have taken, or can test out, of #1.\nSimilar for Calculus 3 -- it's the 3rd level of Calculus and you can't take it until you've completed, or tested out of, Calculus 1 and Calculus 2.

What school do you want to get into? Do you want to, or just think you should? Is math going to matter that much in the rest of your life? You need basic skills, but most of the stuff you learn in school you never use again, unless you are an engineer or an architect. Seriously. And if you are desperate to learn it, you can take remedial courses. And take a deep breath, it's not worth panicking over.

Truthfully?  Not so much.\nBut even if you don't like math and you're thinking of pursuing a college degree most schools have a math requirement.  And you're going to need all that sin and cosin garbage in order to get through college math courses.  And if you already have a college degree and you want to go to graduate school (and I'm talking even liberal arts stuff like history, english, comp. lit.) you're going to need it for your GREs.\n\nAll in all, trig isn't a lot of fun.  I sometimes use it in my daily life because I work in science, but you're really not going to find yourself integrating too many arctangents when buying a home or working at the office.  But, as I said, you might just need it.

I'm an English teacher, and even I occassionally need to use algebra... but believe it or not, the most important thing they want to teach you in algebra isn't math.  It's problem solving and critical thinking skills.  You'll use those skills in whatever direction you take after high school.

The AP calc exam is an ok exam.  It was weird though to take a multiple choice math exam.  Best advice is just to do lots of different types of problems and in no particular order.  Make sure you're comfortable with word problems because that's all the non-multiple choice part of the test is.  Also, I know you can get past exams - my Calc teacher in HS got each of us the past like three tests.  We worked on them on our own and then got together for like a week or so and worked out the problems together if we were stumped.  My advice is to start early (as you seem to be doing) and just keep working through problems.  Make sure you review what you learned in the beginning so you won't forget what you now consider the "easy" stuff.  I took the exam and got a 3 on it.  That would have exempted me from Calc 1 at my college, but I took the class anyway, just to keep familiar and found it much more challenging than in HS becuase it is a college level class.  But I still got an A in it.  And like the answer above said, it was everything we covered in a year in HS calc.  I would only really use the exemption if: 1 - it totally gets you out of all the college math you would need for your major OR 2 - if you can get right into the next level first semester.  Otherwise, I would do the brush up like I did.  It helps the GPA and it does give you that brush up because in college, they expect you to hit the ground running in the higher level classes.  Good luck!
