i’m failing geometry!!! help!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

There are only three weeks left in the school year, and I’m failing geometry. Algebra was very easy for me, so failing a class now is horrifying! I’ve always gotten A’s and B’s in all my other classes, but this is an F. The tests my teacher gives are extremely hard, and they’re worth 70% of the final grade. 
It’s really difficult to study for these tests because we’re not allowed to use a calculator for most of it, and the problems often come from material we learned at the beginning of the year or include random algebra concepts. The tests rarely focus on what we’ve just learned in class; instead, they’re a mix of random, challenging problems. On top of that, my teacher is a tough grader and doesn’t offer any leniency. This makes preparing for the tests incredibly stressful.
The entire class seems to be struggling, and it’s clear that many students are failing, but my teacher doesn’t seem to care or make an effort to help. I can’t even ask her for guidance because her response is always, “What do you need help with?” and I don’t know how to answer that except to say, “Everything!”
I’m really overwhelmed and don’t know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

OK, first, calm down. If you continue to freak out, I don't think any of the advice I'm going to give you is really going to help.

In this kind of situation, you must ask yoursef, "Did I study or do all of my homework this year?". Basically, you have to identify WHY you're having trouble in geometry.

You said that you were excellent in algebra, so why not use those concepts in geometry? All geometry is sometimes is just algebra with shapes, so don't think of it ask geometry, thik of it as algebra.

It's OK to ask your teacher for help, too, you know. She'll be a little upset that you hadn't asked her sooner and stuff, but she'll be open to helping you if you're really stuck. But, here's one thing, I'm positive that you don't know anything at all in geometry. So you need to find out what is the hardest thing for you to do, or the most confusing and simply ask her abnout that. And then when you're done with taht, ask ehr aboutt he enxt ahrdest thing, and so forth.

Now, after that, all you can do is study in a quiet place with no distractions. For help on studying, try this book: 101 Ways to Make Studying Easier and Faster for High School Students, by Janet Engle. It's VERY useful, and even gives tips on math assignments.

you haven't any longer any selection yet to benefit rather stressful so which you will optimistically bypass with a C (in my college district, D's count style as passing, regrettably). in case you may not pull it off, then re-take it in summer season college or next 365 days. What ingredient of Geometry do you want help with?

First: calm down. You have worked yourself into a panic and snit. It's not helping.

Second: you have to accept the conditions in the class; the teacher sets the agenda and the rules. You may not like them, but you have to do as best as you can with them. It may be too late to pass this year, but you should try as best you can in the remaining days. Concentrate on which you do know and get as far as you can with that.

Luck.
