Why am I struggling so hard in Algebra 2? I want to know why I'm struggling so hard in Algebra 2. When I complete tests, I study, do the homework and do practice problems, but sometimes I still get bad grades. In Algebra 2, I am sometimes not consistent with my tests, sometimes I get decent grades, and sometimes I do poorly. In the first quarter, I got a B+, in the second semester, I got a B, and in the third semester, I am sitting and a B with an 83%. However, my grade will go down because, on the last test I took, I got a 43, even though I did everything I can to study, and tests are worth 80% of my grade. After I took that test, I cried in tears. I find it shocking that whatever I do to study for tests, I get grades ranging from about a C to a C+. Interim reports come today, and I just want some advice on how I can do better in Algebra 2 in the future.
