so i found out that i failed math. if i had dropped it then i would have had a high gpa but oh well its done and over with. i have trouble with math (algebra) and a tutor doesn't help because i tried that in highschool. so does anyone suggest a way to make sure i would succeed?

I will tell you, don't slack off, just because you did it once...I got Ds in Calc II twice in a row, from the same prof, because I was too cocky about knowing I'd pass the class the 2nd time around...

Practice a lot. Ask your professor for help during office hours if you don't understand. Get a "buddy system" of someone in the class to study with. And college tutors are better than  high school ones, so you could also give that a try as a last resort if you want.

I dunno, math just comes naturally to me. Just pay attention and try your best.

the tutor was a friend who understood the stuff and the other tutor was the math teacher himself. i'm not sayn he's bad but i just didn't understand it. it'll make sense after the test and stuff is done.
