Retaking a class I failed..

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>So I am currently failing pre-calculus with a 55%. Freshman and sophomore year I took Geometry and Algebra 2 and earned an A in both of those class, however Pre-Calculus is a struggle for me. My parents hired a tutor last semester and we had 4 sessions before I realized I couldn't deal with her- she was terribly slow and I found myself having to explain things to her rather than the other way around.</p>

<p>I saw my GC this week and he made me put down Pre-Calculus again for senior year (even though I earned a C first semester). I do not know if retaking a year with the same teacher would be productive. It's hard for me, but she's also not that great of a teacher. So I wanted to take it next school year (if I end up not passing) at a community college.</p>

<p>Will both the CC grade and failing grade I earned at school on my transcript? Or just the most recent passing grade?
If I retake it at school will both grades show up?
Should I even retake it at all? I wanted to take Intro to Stats at a CC next school year, I wasn't planning on taking Pre-Cal so should I just stick with my F? </p>

<p>Sorry for the long post but please help me.</p>

<p>Can someone please offer me some advice?</p>

<p>Can you retake it over the summer?</p>

<p>I believe they will both show up. But TALK very openly with your GC about your plans and intentions and see what your school’s policy is. There is no universal standard.</p>

<p>It may be valuable to take pre-calc at CC or online over the summer either way. You will likely need to take Calc in college anyway, and a good foundation will help.
I’m just guessing, but it sounds like you’re having trouble with trig; you will need a decent understanding of that for calc.</p>

<p>I cannot retake it over summer- my school doesn’t have summer school and the CC doesn’t offer it this summer.</p>

<p>Okay, I will talk with the GC on Monday.
I found an online program but idk if I can learn it well online. </p>

<p>Thanks for the replies</p>
