<p>I'm taking Algebra II Honors now and it's nothing I ever expected, I thought it was going to be super easy. We just took our 'Quest' today (quiz + test) and I felt like I did really REALLY bad on it. Also the quest was just on review from Algebra I! I have a 103% right now and that can easily change when my teacher grades out quest.</p>
<p>What are some tips for surviving in Algebra II?</p>
<p>buy “Algebra I & II For Dummies” serious, saved my butt sometimes. Also ask your teeacher for help or get tutored</p>
<p>First, a good study aid can help. It’s always useful to see things from different perspectives. Second, make sure your foundations from Algebra I are down solid. If you are a little shaky on certain Algebra I concepts, you will only fall through the cracks even further in Algebra II. Third, do LOTS of practice problems. Do them until you hate it with a burning passion. That will solidify the concepts in your head. Maybe try before going to bed, but not at a point when you are exhausted. Fourth, kinda tying in with the study aid thing: the internet is a beautiful thing. USE IT. My personal favorite math resources are Khan Academy and on Youtube, patrickJMT. There are way more than those two, but those are the ones I use on a regular basis. Finally, there is the obvious choice. Ask questions in class and go to tutoring hours if applicable. Good luck!</p>
<p>I’m in Algebra 2/Trigonometry Honors and am barely pulling an A-. However, I spend less than 10 minutes per night on homework and never study. It’s not that challenging, but it’ll take a lot to get an A or A+.</p>
<p>It really depends on your personal style, but lower level math is awesome because it’s not possible (I believe) to not get it. If you’re willing to put in the time and read the book, there is absolutely nothing in the textbook that should stop ANYONE from getting an A. Just listen in lectures, and if you don’t understand something, read the summary at the beginning of the textbook’s lesson. And most importantly, learn your class and figure out the amount of effort you need to put in to get a grade you’re happy with. And even if you end up with a low grade, the most important thing is that you understand the material.</p>
<p>If you’re ever having trouble, I’d recommend watching videos from Khan Academy. It makes mathematics infinitely more comprehensible. :)</p>
