<p>Not so much of the material that seems hard, the real challenge is actually devoting yourself to actually studying every day during your summer. Summer should be enjoyed, not spent inside in a darkroom, studying Algebra II because you made some bad choices.</p>
<p>What about honors physics and chemistry self-study</p>
<p>Nope. Those classes are more indepth, Lab-style.</p>
<p>How do you guys feel about honors chem? i take honors bio this year and i hate it but i like math. so how much is math and is it hardd (in ur opin.).</p>
<p>I think that's a wonderful idea! Besides you'll have plenty of time to have fun!!</p>
<p>i finished algebra2 and geometry in one summer with a tutor.</p>
<p>but i had to do algebra2 once more with CTY in order to fully get it. and now, i still don't get it. maybe i'm just stupid like that.</p>
<p>Well, first of all, to really get Algebra II, you'll need a good, but suitable textbook. I recommend: Advanced Algebra by Scott, Foresman. The way it set up, is good as it allows you to move fast..</p>
<p>What about Physics?</p>
<p>You can self-study anything, just depends on how much time you put in and your intellectual abilities.</p>
<p>Well, what I want to know is, how difficult is it to actually self-study physics, and about how much time would I have to put in? I ask this due to time constraints I will have this summer.</p>
<p>Alright, well I plan to start self studying this June and hopefully finishing by mid-July atleast.</p>
<p>I have Mathematics: A human endeavor, plus it seems that the Advanced Algebra textbook by Scott Foresman (1993) is in our local library, so I'll check that out.</p>
<p>Anyways, any other tips? Strategies? Ideas? Any websites or books I might be able to find useful? </p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>
<p>tip: dont quit.</p>
<p>My tip is the location. I think you should hit the library for a while to self-study because at home you have alot of distrations. :X</p>
<p>I've self-studied math before, but how hard would it be to self-study physics, the hardest of all sciences, without a tutor?</p>
<p>To study physics you must knoiw the math inside out.
If you do its not that hard.
If you don't it will be very frustrating.</p>
<p>Well, I'm in precalc right now.</p>
<p>it doesnt matter whether ur in precalc or algebra 1 (well, not alg.1). u just gotta know how to apply it.</p>

Strategies...do #1-20 for each section on the Scott Foresman Advanced Algebra. It gets harder as you move toward the end. The "Section Test" and "Unit Review" are extremely helpful. Also, you might want to get Algebra II from Cliffnotes (studysolver). When you have a problem that you don't understand or need help on, post your obstacle on <a href="http://www.freemathhelp.com/forum/%5B/url%5D">http://www.freemathhelp.com/forum/</a> a forum dedicated to helping you in math. Good luck</p>
<p>The Scott Foresman Advanced Algebra has trigonometry as well (section 10). It is a piece of cake by-the-way.</p>
<p>PS: Have a graphing calculator ready and do not do the "BASIC" computer language problems as they are not needed. You should be able to do 1 section per day or 2 if you're fast. (10 sections per unit).</p>
<p>Ah great tips everyone! Especially gumball, thanks for the help there.</p>
<p>I do have one question, before I get to take a look at the Foresman book, how many units does it have?</p>
<p>Any other suggestions or ideas? Or tips?</p>
<p>The Scott Foresman book has around 14 units. My Advanced Algebra 2 class covered from 1-7 and Math Analysis covered from 8-13. You benefit an ENTIRE graps of Algebra in one book. Section 14 is just about fractals and stuff, it's not essential.</p>
