I. Hate. Math.

Post Reply New Topic

i hate math LOADS! the only reason i didnt mind it so much this year was that i sat next to my best friend Taco (i can only call her by her nickname while talking about her on here for logical reasons) so we just kinda joked around during the whole class. im still confused why me n her didnt fail!

I hate math. It's hard and bored.. That's why i have a little secret)) My secret homework helper)))

I was above average in high school but in university math classes I'm average or below average.

jc6chan)) And what can you do with such results??

Average. I have the ability to be above average, I'm told, but I'm not interested in it. I tend to forget steps to solve problems.

Definitely above average but definitely not a genius either.

Math lost me at Algebra, seriously, KEEP YOUR GORRAM LETTERS OUT OF MAH GORRAM NUMBERS!! I used to be so good =( I was always the top of my class too...

Also, my ACT scores:
English 27
Reading 29-30 (MEMORY!! !)
Science 26-ish (memory Y U NO WORK)
Math 17 >_> *cough* (accurate BTW, you don't forget that...)

I despise anything other than geometry and simple math. Algebra and Calculus both bore me to death, and I just can't wrap my head around them sometimes.

On the other hand, I somehow managed to score high enough on the ACT's math section to not have to take any math courses at the college I'm attending:
English: 31
Math: 28 (I really don't know how I got this; maybe I'm just good at tests )
Reading: 31
Science: 30
Composite: 30

Writing: 6 out of 12
Combined English/Writing: 27
F*** writing.

ACT scores.

Total score: 26

English: 25

Math: 27

Reading: 27

Science: 23

I hadn't taken a science class for almost 2 years then, so that's why I did bad on that.
Also, I am horrible at timed tests.
Meh, I am average apparently.

I hate math. My mother always told me that I just wasn't trying hard enough, but I really can't wrap my mind around it. 2+2, I got that. 3x3, I got that. But what is long division? How do I find x? What do you honestly expect me to do with this graph and a bunch of random letters? I'm going into elementary algebra when I start college in the fall because anything harder is beyond me.

I suppose that's a stereotype within the AS/ASD community of being math & science whizzes.

I was Principal's Honor Roll until the 5th Grade, when I got my first C. In Math.

It's hasn't improved much since grade school, except I had got a 91 for one nine weeks, but got 74, 76, and 72 for all of the Nine Weeks. I still don't know how that's possible.

I made B's in all of my Maths in College so far, but because of the online HW assignments we did, we could correct and get all 100%
I made no grade higher than a 74 on any of my tests for my College Algebra class. I might have made a 70 on the Finals, and still end up with a B. I know I didn't deserve the grade, but how could I tell that to my professor
As for science. Biology was easy, and so was Earth Science. Physical Science (Physics) was always no higher than a 77 in anything except 'group work'. Too much Math in that science. I know C's are 'average' on most grading scales, but considering me making B+ to A+ on everything else, C is unsatisfactory.....


Which makes me wonder if NLD can be linked with certain ASDs (Not saying I have NLD, but I'm curious)...

I'm by no means a genius, but I have no problem describing myself as being above average with numbers.

In Denmark we have the grades: -3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10 and 12. The average in school overall is 4.2 or 4.4 about there.
We get 3 grades in math here, Oral, skills and logic/problem solving. I got 10 in oral and skills while I got 7 in problem solving.
But that's thanks to my teacher I got in 7th grade 3 years ago (I just finished what would be called jr. High in the US)
Before I had him I sucked at math (we had 4 math teams and I was on the 3rd worst) but that was because my teachers was soooo bad at teaching me but they didn't know back then I was an aspie.
