I haven't been in a math class in over 7 years (High School Sophmore Year!!!) . I tested pretty high into math 40 (one level before college trasferrable math, but the lowest math I need for my AS). This is my second day in class, and all of a sudden, the review she is talking about is in another laguage. I'm having an anxiety attack because I did know this stuff 7 YEARS AGO, but it has all been but washed out of my mind. I talked to my professor and she said that I should drop to Math 20 right away. NOW... I have to drop down 1 level of math, and the class I will be trying to crash tomorrow has already met twice. I don't want to get behind. I'm scared. I would like to get an A, but I'm afraid how far they have gotten with 2 class meetings so far.

ARGHHHHHHHHH...

If you ever need help in math, I used to tutor College Algebra and Trig 1 at the school I'm at. :thumbsup: Don't hesitate to ask for help! Also, I'm sure the school you're attending has tutors as well. Math is the subject most students need help with (outside the sciences anyway).

I wish you luck somer cause i know how confusing math can be at times .. i am in college algebra .. and always got this o duh look on my face.

Hang in there... it's always better to ask if you need it and you can always take a lower level and then come back to the higher one. And an easy math class is always a good GPA boost!!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks everyone. I do feel better about it now. At least I won't be totally lost in this class. I haven't used that part of my brain in so long, so at least it will be a good exercise before I go into tougher math.

Hey Somer,

I was in your same situation...I know this post is kind of old...what i did was drop that class and took an elective...and i went to borders and got a math book and tutored myself so next semester i will take the class and have no problems...If you want the book that i bought i will send it to you it is the easiest book i have ever seen. Pm me and let me know if you want me to do that.

i just started my ged and i was devastated that the law has changed so all of my scores i had before no longer count so i have to take them all over. the ged class i am they have a rule no one can take math and english last so i am haveing to take the math first which sucks for me i do not know all of this new math. and i am working on social studies

I dropped math 25 last semester because the instructor was not a nice person. There were several complaints about her to the chairman of the natural science division. Well I am taking it again this semester and I am struggling so bad it isn't even funny. It had been 28 years since I had been in school and I didn't take algebra way back in high school. Not sure I am going to make it this semester either. Hang in there!!

Math was always my worst subject. I ended up going to a free tutoring class that the college offered twice a week. If it wasn't for the tutor, I don't think I would have passed. I ended up getting a B in the end, but boy was I freakin. Good Luck.
