Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I fail math tests even when I study?

Most students study by rereading notes and examples, which builds recognition, not the ability to solve problems alone. Tests ask you to solve problems alone, so practice that way: work problems from scratch with the book closed and the clock running.

Can I still pass math if I am failing now?

Often, yes, if enough graded work remains. Find out exactly what is left, ask your teacher about missing work and corrections, and put most of your effort into the next test and the final.

What is the hardest high school math class?

Many students find precalculus the biggest jump, because it moves fast and assumes algebra is automatic. Weak algebra, more than the new material, is usually what makes it feel hard.
