When I took Cal, there were some stuff I didn't understand, and that made me get B+ marks...

I got some help from a few tutoring classes on Cal, and it increased it to high 80s low 90s.

There were a few things that needed to be explained to me, and when I had the one-on-one help, it improved my score.

Ask your Cal teacher for some help for 10 to 15 minutes, if he/she isn't busy.

I'm sure they will acquiesce.

Or, if not, get a tutor to go through stuff you don't understand.

In Chronological order:
1- study (through homework, practice, whatever)
2- circle the stuff you don't understand or make a list of stuff you don't understand.
3a- Ask teacher for a one-on-one session
OR
3b- Ask tutor
4- Do better in tests by at least a grade point higher.
5- Rinse and repeat.

"Back at One" hehehe Brian Mcknight.

Good luck!

PS: If you are going into the Sciences or even... *gasp* Business, you'll need high Calculus marks, but I'm not sure if your "pre-cal" is Calculus AP or (I forgot the name) or an easier version of Calculus... The Universities have a much higher weighting/preference on the Calculus AP scores, so study hard and improve your average before your second and third term ends. For example, Queen's Business program gives a hard look at Calculus scores to weed out the incoming students, and you need a 90% or higher average.
