<p>I want to take an online course in geometry this summer so I can go straight to Algebra 2 next year. Is this a smart thing to do? A lot of people say that geometry is especially hard.
What are the best courses online to look into?</p>
<p>Umm, you don’t need to take an online course for geometry.</p>
<p>Last year in my freshmen year, I had self-studied geometry without even taking the class and gotten an 89 on the regents, which I took in June. In addition, I mastered the whole course of Algebra in the summer before 9th grade began and got an 89 on that regent that I took in January. Yet, I only spend 3 months mastering geometry—September,October, and Mid-May-Early June.</p>
<p>All you need is “Barron’s Geometry Review” and study from it.</p>
<p>The hardest parts of Geometry that I know are writing proofs–so annoying-- and locus-- so confusing.</p>
<p>I’m at private school so we don’t take regents exams. My school is pretty strict about summer programs and credits. I would take a huge exam in September to qualify for skipping the class because every freshman is required to take Geometry unless there are special circumstances. I just don’t know if three months would cover a whole year.</p>
<p>Actually, you can. Remember this is geometry, it requires memorization of formulas, which I think is not that hard if you are diligent.</p>
<p>In addition, don’t underestimate the days in a month.</p>
<p>90 days all together…That’s far than enough</p>
