If a student makes straight A's and a few B's, but C's and D's in Math, what does this mean? Are they not

not going to be able to compete in college? (High School Student) almost failing in Math.





AND THEY ARE STRUGGLING HARD TO MAKE THAT...

Your success in college depends on your major. Most people only need two math classes to graduate, like algebra and statistics.





Most teachers want their students to do well! I recommend that you ask for help from them. If you let them know that math isn't your strongest subject, they can give you study tips and other resources to boost your grades.





Don't worry about it too much. The only thing it really means is that you should stay away from a major like engineering! =D
Reply:No, no. They'll do just fine in college! That just means that they will do better in humanities than sciences. I hate math, and Physics and I got A's in them but I was always misreable studying fro them. Whereas with humanities I'd always have fun studying. I have a very high GPA now and I don't do too much effort, I simply like the stuff I'm taking. (Note to self: must seek help to reduce my titanic ego. is getting unhealthy! Cannot believe that i managed to make this about me.)
Reply:Wow. So I'm not the only one =)





I'm not kidding when I say this, I SUCK at math. I get A's for the most part, not including math, my GPA would be like a 3.9. But I've gotten my first C in AP calculus and I'm REALLY struggling. I just don't seem to grasp the concept, and the same goes for Algebra, and any type of MATH. I'm horrible at math, and I've accepted the fact that it's the way I am, because I've been like that since I was little.
Reply:It's possible that you're just not studying the right way for math or that you just don't have the right mindset for math (some people are just like that). The good news is, unless you're going to be a math, physics, or engineering major, you don't have to take much math in college.





Talk to teachers, and friends who are good at math, maybe they can explain in a different way that helps you understand better.
Reply:Well,


Knowone is terrible at a subject but it just means you should try harder and ask after school for help from a teacher, or even during class, well good luck.





Hope i helped good luck!!!
Reply:Depending on what math class you're flunking, this may not mean anything predictive about your success in college, as far as passing and getting a B.A.. Many colleges only require one class in basic math in order to complete the general education requirements. If you're seriously concerned that you won't make it through college, then when it comes time to choose between colleges, (among other things) read up on each college's general education requirements in their catalog and see if you will ever need more than one very basic course in math in the entire time you're attending that college. Personally, however, I found that taking a math-anxiety workshop at my local community college dramatically increased my math grades! Please consider seeking out resources on how to more effectively get through math classes (although of course, you could be doing badly for many reasons, including bad teaching or text, but most of my A-level students tend to do well despite bad teachers or texts, which suggests the possibility of a learning disability or anxiety instead).





Can you clarify which math class you're doing badly in, algebra? geometry? trig?
Reply:Depends on what you major in. You could always improve, I wouldn't stress over something like that and let you stay away from college.
