i’m just starting college right now and i’m working on a degree in math, but i am just god awful at precal, while my classmates who are not getting even math-adjacent degrees are getting b’s and a’s on every test. i can’t take any of the required classes for my degree without precal, and im wondering if i made a mistake, or if theres just an issue with this specific class. we get 3 homework assignments 17 questions each per week and ive consistently gotten 90s and 100s on them for the entire semester, but as soon as its time to take a test i just lose all brain function and end up scoring below 50. the tests are always 10 questions in 20 minutes and theyre proctored online tests, 50% of our grade, and ive done seriously awful on almost all of them. ive tried studying and ive tried practicing and i STILL cant memorize the damn unit circle, and i’m starting to wonder if i’m just not naturally good at math anymore. i emailed my professor about the possibility of giving us a few extra minutes on tests and he found the politest way possible to essentially say “tough shit study harder”. anyway this is more of a rant than a genuine question i just needed to talk about this before i start yelling
