<p>Hi. I'm a freshman going into high school, and am new to this forum. I'm making this thread because I'm terrified. Let me tell you the story:</p>
<p>I did great in geometry, finishing with a not-too-shabby 98. I was really happy as I got advanced performance on the EOC as well. Yup, that was the worry-free life. Now, if you're wondering how I got in geometry in 8th grade, let me fill you in. In Texas, we have an exam called the CBE(Credit by Exam) which lets you skips a grade of a chosen course. Anyways, I skipped 7th grade math, and took Algebra as a 7th grader(finished with 98-but could've done better), and here I just finished geometry.</p>
<p>So a lot of my friends that took Precalculus said it was really easy and all. Even freshmen like me said it was easy. Therefore, a lot of my friends decided to skip Algebra II. So they studied a textbook and passed the CBE. My parents decided it would be useful for me to go to higher levels of math, so they made me study HARD, and I passed the CBE as well. I would've done better if I wasn't taking summer school at the same time, but I passed with a 93(90 is the passing score). I was excited, but soon it melted away. I'm now hearing more recent stories of how hard Precal is, and how it is very difficult to learn.</p>
<p>Hence, this is why I'm scared. If Precal is really that hard, am I on a one-way ticket to failure? Please guys, tell me the truth, and don't lie. My heart is pounding and I'm choking with worry each second. If it helps, I still have about a month before school starts, and still want to study EXTREMELY HARD in algebra 2 so I do good in Precal. Would I be okay then?</p>
<p>Sorry for wasting your time guys, but please inform me fast.</p>
