Put the algebraic material that you learned in class into actual situations you've experienced whenever you study. Connecting algebra to your personal life will make it easier for you to study and remember the material. Go over sections of algebra that demonstrate real-life applications in whichever way that interests you.
Involve yourself in your algebra class by raising questions about your homework and class assignments. Deciphering algebra in class will allow you to showcase your mathematical skills and build your study prowess.
Study exponents, grouped operations and roots. Whenever you are studying, remember a rule in algebra is the order of operations. Being ignorant of the order of operations will lower your overall grade because you must show an intelligible line of reasoning and problem solving.
Increase your study habits by spending time on algebra in your home after school and on weekends. Since your grade in the class is partially based on homework, use this time to go over your homework. Focusing on completed and graded homework will also help your study habits by reinforcing the correct answers and by showing you how you got the answers.
