Additional info, added Friday February 4 2005, 11:57 pm: its too late for me to switch down to pre algebra now. Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category? Maybe give some free advice about: School? Alilash answered Sunday February 6 2005, 8:04 pm: I think you should try to study a lot. You might get a bettter grade. Try to find a nice and quiet place and study for a long time till you get it. Don't stress yourself out. It will not do good for you. Try to do your best. Then have somebody quiz you on what you have studied. I am just saying try your best! You will probably pull up your grade. [ Alilash's advice column | Ask Alilash A Question ]

S_C answered Saturday February 5 2005, 8:04 am: Well, you can always get one of those Slyvan learning center teachers (I saw one of those commercials not to long ago) Or you can ask your teacher for extra help, or extra time on the tests. I'm in algebra right now, but I'm in 9th grade, high school. Next year I'm taking honors geometry and algebra2 (I would take honors alg2 but I heard it was WAY too hard) I'm making a 100 average in my class (1b) and last semester when I took alg1a I made a 96 in the class. I just recently got a 121 on our test (the highest w/o extra credit obviously is a 100) But with extra credit the highest I could've gotten was a 125, I screwed up on 2 graphs otherwise I would've gotten it. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm bragging, but if you want any help on something math related, just drop one in my inbox. The only other thing I can say is that ther's this one website (you have to pay) and you type in the problem, they show you how to work it out, and they give you the answer. If you want the site, I can try and find it for you. Or you can just askjeeves. But you'll probably either have to ask for extra time, or extra practice (even if it's more work) or for extra help after school, or before school. Sorry I kind of bragged more than helped. But if you want to know how to solve any problems, just give me a problem I'll work it out for you to see, then I'll give you the answer. If you ask for more than one, then I'll work out whichever you think is the hardest and work it out all the way down to the end where I'd give you the answer, then for the rest of them I'll work them halfway or something and you can look at the 1st one to figure out how to do the rest.
Right now we're working on mononumials, we finished scientific notation (which I learned in 6th grade anyways) and we finished multiplying exponents (which I learned before my class) and we're about to learn how to divide exponents (I've already learned, so I'll fly through it) But anyways you can ask for extra time, extra help, or extra practice, or drop one in my inbox with no more than 5 of the problems. Hope I helped, sorry it's long :-) [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]

emaleekate answered Friday February 4 2005, 11:54 pm: no matter what, if your in an advanced class-even if ur in highschool it adds 7 points. however those 7 points dont show up when you go to colledge. like when theyre lookin to accept you, they only see the report card grades...the 70s. i was in algebra- and sucked at it so i swapped down to pre al *8th grade now ppl* and im making like 101s on report cards so i think you should go to a lower thing if ur not doin well in algebra [ emaleekate's advice column | Ask emaleekate A Question ]
