  Anyone here have drop their A maths subject before? This subject is just driving me insane and i feel like Strangling it to death. I have never passed a single test or exam before and just before the holidays my teacher ask me to think about dropping it. I know its a stupid subject but i have heard that lots of ppl have gotten Bs of their Os ever thought they have never really done well for it before so I don't want to make a stupid decision.How?

  a maths is all about practice.their questions are really all more or less the same. seriously short questions but expects long answers.e maths is more tricky.go do ur tys and it will be ok..the questions are quite predictable.

  Sec 4, only little more time till o level.
  Another thing is my A maths teacher lah.Everytime we fail a test,she scream at us as though we fail o lvl like that.Then also say thing like "i feel like giving up on you all" or "u are the worst batch of A maths student i have ever see"
  Some more only like 5 ppl in class are weak in A maths inculding me are we like pushing the class down
