I've been pretty average or maybe slightly average at math. I did pretty bad in 9th grade and 10th grade in my math classes because I never studied, but this year, I am very determined. I have the option of taking the accelerated class of Analysis (pre-calc) or taking regular. My consuelor says I should take regular since it might be too much stress for me since I have other various AC and AP classes. I was also going under a form of depression in my sophomore year.
Do you think I should take analysis AC or regular? I really want to show those people that I can do it, and I'm determined to go all the way if I take AC. But, I also have a sinking feeling that I might slack off or not make it.
Thanks for the feedback!

People don't think you can do it, prove them wrong.
Here's a suggestion, write down your goal (an A in the class), and then write down the steps you'll need to take to achieve it. (do all my homework, study for 1 hour a day for 5 days before each exam etc) The list of things you need to do has to be as specific as possible.
Put this list someplace where you will see it every day. Stick to it.

You are your worst critic. You're also the best judge on what you can and can not do. Don't let somebody else tell you what you can't do and prove them right by not doing it. It makes sense to consider that you just might not be able to handle it. But no one can determine that for you.. no one on Yahoo! Answers, no one at your school, and no one in your home.
I suck at math. So I won't encourage you to do something that I probably wouldn't do. However, I would allow myself to be the judge of that, not someone else. You know where your strengths and weaknesses are when it come to math, right? Gather an honest accessment on whether or not you can keep up with that class AND YOUR OTHER AP/AC classes, and if you can keep the pace give it a try.

I think the key words in your question are "I really want to show those people that I can do it." If you decide to go for it, do it solely for yourself and nobody else.
Only you can decide this, but if you truly feel that you may slack off then there's nothing wrong w/taking regular analysis. If you already will have other AP classes, then maybe you don't need the extra pressure.
Whatever you decide, it will, in the long run, be ok. Just don't "go for it" for the wrong reasons. The only person you need to impress is yourself!

I took the accelerated. I never really studied but became bored in the regular class to the point that not only did I not study, I also stopped listening and had a harder time.
Maybe you can sit in on the classes beforehand? Or take the accelerated one and if it's too much, switch back to regular.
Always easier to go back then ahead.

Take the regular one, because I sucked to during those years and then attempted an accelerated and nearly failed. I slid by with a D. However math just isnt my strong suit. You can take higher maths in college and they count towards your degree. Theirs no sense rushing to get to a higher math just yet. Take your time so your certain you have the basics so you can definatly get good grades.

It's my opinion that more challenging, the better a person does. Would it be more rewarding for you to get an A in the reqular class or a B in analysis AC.

I would say it's better to do well in the regular class than just do okay on the AC course, but that's just my opinion.

If you want to, Go for it - surely you can always drop out if it becomes too difficult
dont let your regular classes slacken because of the advanced one
you could always do this course later on

I think that you schould do regular math this year as a junior then if you do Really well then take a harder math class when you are a senior.
