<p>Despite the fact that I go to class every day, do the problems and do the homework, the tests just kill me. I got a 72 on the coordinate geometry test I got back today and didn't get an A on any test since the beginning of the quarter. It may be an issue that I don't usually get above 5 hours of sleep in a night.</p>
<p>At the beginning of each unit, we get a large packet with everything for the unit. So I've been considering partially learning the stuff on my own and reinforcing it in the classroom the next day. </p>
<p>In conjunction with getting more sleep, should I go by my idea? Other ideas? Your advice is appreciated.</p>
<p>nearly every honors geometry student has to go through this. you just have to do more and more practice problems, and go back the things you weren’t able to do (go through those problems with your teacher). there really isn’t any other way.</p>
<p>and don’t panic. I know it’s stressful sometimes, but a clear mind helps</p>
<p>It might be a good idea to ‘pre-read’ before you go to class. That might not mean understand completely, but if you have an idea of what will be covered in class, you’ll be able to pick-up and process more easily.</p>
<p>Yes, I’d say get more sleep. Also see if there are any scheduled tutorials for your class, or if any friends get together and study together-- that may help, hearing it from somebody else.</p>

<p>OP I would just keep trying the practice problems, and make sure you do well in everything else with the class to keep your grade up. At least you try, getting a B or such will not be the end of the world.</p>
<p>Guys, is it weird that my geometry class never did proofs and I learned them in Algebra II?
I took regular geometry sophomore year because I didn’t have the prerequisite for it freshman year.</p>
<p>I’d suggest just trying to understand how all the theorems apply to angles/shapes, and just get them into your head. Geometry is much more of a puzzle with specific pieces that go in a specific order. Once you learn exactly how and where the pieces should go, it’s not that bad. </p>
<p>My woe with Geometry was when we got to the circles, as I was gone for a month for vacation and just finished mostly triangles/trig. When I came back, there were so many more theorems and such for circles that it took a while to get them drilled into my head. I sadly ended up with an 89.8 in that class…so close to an A lol :P</p>
<p>I’m taking taking the same course as well. My biggest piece of advice is to ask questions! If you don’t understand something, ask the teacher. Try to review after school or ask your friends for help. It definitely helps.</p>
<p>Think about it this way: You don’t have a propensity towards geometry which is totally fine. Next year, when you take alg 2 (assuming), you’ll do extremely well if you continue doing what you’re doing right now (hw, showing up to class, etc.) According to scientific research, people who don’t do well with geometry do well with algebra and vice versa. I found geometry to be extremely fun, but I struggle with concepts based on algebra.</p>
