im a 15 year old girl and i have never passed a exam for maths in my life. i feel like such a failure i put so much effort into it and try so hard and then theres other kids in my class who dont revise and just pass instantely.

Its so unfair i hate being dum. ive tried maths tutors but i just cant stand them thing is i really want to pass maths make my family proud. The thing i get stuck on most in exams is questions with a story with them i never seem to no how to work it out.!!!!!!!

any advice?

Dont feel bad, it doesnt mean you are dumb! I'm no good at Math either, everyone else got at least up to Calculus when I was in high school, and I BARELY passed Pre-Algebra. I took Pre-Algebra all four years of high school, failed it my freshman, sophomore and junior year, and FINALLY passed my Senior year. Its nothing to be embarassed about, math is hard!

Oh Darn, don't be hard on yourself. Me and Math never ever ever saw eye to eye. Ever. It truly hurt my head. Gives me shivers just thinking about... a= b + whatever...aaaaah.

Anyway, you keep trying your best and ya know what, that grade you get, is so worth an A, because you gave it everything and didnt' give up.

I am sure there are subjects that come so naturally to you. School is so very hard. Some kids just absorb things like a sponge, too me, I feel better when I have to work harder at something makes me feel as though I accomplished something.

Chin up girl, you are not alone there

Hi, I'm 15 and I'm Really bad at math. Hope this cheers u up a little

I'm really good in English, History and Psychology. (those writing subjects.)
My class average in academic math was a 60% so know you're not alone. I'm really really really stupid in math but it doesn't bother me too much. In fact i think I only passed 2-3 tests this year (LOL)

All i can say is attend every class, Never give up,and hopefully the teacher may give u a pity mark of above 50% if you have high marks on other subjects. Friends that help too are good also. And Hand in every piece of homework u can

Sorry it's not "real advice" but at least this may give u a chuckle :P
