Should I stay in math, although I'm failing?

if you really want math then pursue it but if not then it's time for you to shift to another course. a friend of mine used to tell me this saying whenever i'm in the state of dilemma like yours, i'd rather be a failure at something i enjoy than be a success at something i hate... its up to you now to decide

Then you should start studying.\nLearn a little at a time and always review regularly so you can remember it. Too much info at one time and you brain immediately forgets.\n\nAnd when studying for maths - don't just learn the theories and the formulas. Learn to apply them. Do lots of practice equations/questions. Eventually you'll know what to do immediately after seeing a new question. You won't even hesitate, so you'll save time for even harder questions.\n\nTrust me it works!!!

I can be a whiz at Math, but not be a Mathematician, can't I?

It really depends on you - how much time you want to put into it, how quickly you grasp ideas, etc.  It depends what else you're doing as well.  If you've got the time and you can grasp the ideas of it quite quickly, then go ahead.  Maths and physics are subjects that don't take up hours meaninglessly - once you understand it, you understand it.  If you think you're capable, go for it!  Worst case scenario, you have to resit.  It depends on your support network, too.  My school told me it was impossible to sit 5 A2s and get good grades, and I did.

you find the right place. read other's Q&As (Questions and answers) it is fun and it will help your improvement. you've got through the toughest part--the beginning of learning. never never give up if you think it is worthwhile, though you still have a long way to go.

If you fail again I would get a computing degree in another title!\nWhat does it matter if your behind your peers. Education is not about competition its about persaverence. It will all pay off in the end everyone is always looking for a computer specialist to keep their business running. I know it is hard but you have to believe in your ability and have conifidence that the knowledge that you took the time to learn will make a difference to someone. I know how hard it is I am a University of Tennessee graduate with a polictical science degree and I can't even afford mcdonalds.

Why doesn't your mother already know that you are not very good at mathematics.\nMerely turning up for the lessons does not automatically mean you will pass. It is time for you to make an effort to understand and learn the work. You may need help with this.

Consider which subjects are your strongest and which subjects are your weakest. Then, study more for your weakest, and some for your strongest subjects. I have more trouble in Math, than in History, so I always study for my Math tests more than for my History tests.

Now keep in mind I am a recent college graduate...but I remember when I took Algebra 2, I struggled some...ended up with like a B (I think..hard to remember those details).  I did much better with Geometry though-so thats cool. I enjoy math though-isn't that ironic? I did very well in college though.

I find that in order to know math really well you gotta practice, practice and practice. Take out a math book and just do some examples. You will see were you are weak (ask someone for help, of course) and many times you come across a difficult or tricky example you will be glad you came across while studying and not during the test. Good Luck!

I recommend withdrawing, however, this actually depends somewhat on your current GPA.  If it's really high, failing may actually be the better option for you - financially, anyway.  Your transcript will be less pretty, but if you can fail all your classes this semester and still keep your GPA around a 2.5 or better, then this may be the better route to take.  However, if it's going to bring it down to a less than a 2.5, withdraw from the classes.  It will cost you far more in the long run to graduate with less than a 3.0 (as far as job opportunities and salaries go), and it would be very difficult to bring it back up after such a disastrous semester - also, you run the risk of being suspended if it runs too low, which usually means no more financial aid until you can bring it back up, and you have to sit out at least one semester.

Some people are good at math, while others are better at reading. Just depends on yuor strong points. \n\nHowever, that does not mean you can never learn it. It takes practice, like everything. I am not a strong math person either, but I have made it through 3 levels of calculus in one semester. \n\nYou might ask extra help from the teacher or get a tutor. For me, practice and one on one help is what helps me. It is not something that comes natural to everyone, but once you get the hang of it, algebra is not as hard as it may seem right now.

If you keep the average level, it is okay. Keep on doing efforts =)\nBecause these careers don't include too much math, don't you worry.

Jimbo, believe in yourself. You have given enough right answers to know what you are capable of. Thanks for an answer you gave me, that I needed, so I could help my wife with her college math class. Keep up the GREAT WORK!

Judging from your spelling and use of the English language, I think you should stay in school a while.  Remember, what you learn is totally up to you!  You actually don't need a gym, cafeteria, sports team, or cheerleading to learn anything you set your mind to.  If you don't feel the teachers are presenting you with enough material, get some more on your own.  Sure, you could get your GED and then proceed to learn whatever you want without the school, but there are at least 2 problems with that.  First, if you are depending on someone else to teach you now, you probably won't take the initiative to learn on your own after you quit school either.  Second, there is a stigma attached with having a GED that will make it hard to be taken serious when trying to get a job.  Why do that to yourself?  Stick it out.  Go over and beyond what's expected of you.  I really believe you'll be glad you did.

Well you have a choice;you can give up or try harder. I am hard on myself with grades too so I understand you are upset but failure happens to everybody and it sounds like you were due.\n\n “I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong”\nBenjamin Franklin

Convince yourself that math isn't that bad.  If you put a mental block up (like saying you hate math) you'll never get through it.  I am not great at math (I struggle to balance my checkbook) but I break out the calculator and tell myself its not that bad, I can deal with it.  I'm smart and I can handle this.  You don't have to be an accountant to handle math, but you do have to constantly tell yourself that math is not hard.  It doesn't have to be something you look forward to doing, but it is something you have to do.  The sooner you come to grips with this, the better off you'll be.
