<p>Last year I took honors geometry and got an A- both semesters. this year I took honors algebra 2, and got a B+ first semester, but this semester I currently have a D. My teacher has uploaded only 3 check-ins (mini quizzes), but I am feeling very worried about this class, because I get straight a's in all of my other classes.</p>
<p>My teacher's tests always feel 10 times harder than the homework problems and practice tests in the textbook. I have a tutor that I meet with once a week, and I have him help me with challenging problems from hw. Usually my teacher assigns us a worksheet or bookwork every night, and posts an answer key online. I do well on homework, but always make simple mistakes (negative signs, plus/minus signs, etc.) That lower my grade. I usually study a lot the night before test, but lately this has backfired.</p>
<p>Any tips on how I should study/tips for doing better in honors algebra 2? What should I be working on with my tutor?</p>
