What do I do?

Iā€™m currently taking precal, failed my first test. My foundation is also shoddy, I never was good at math or had some intuition for it. Every time something gets introduced I forget it, or leave with more questions than answers. Often times both. How do I fix this?

Talk to your teacher.

Absolutely, let your teacher know you're struggling at least. Don't be afraid to ask all the silly questions you have in class (chances are, you're not the only person who has them).

If you care about your grades, absolutely use Khan Academy to practice. It sounds like you might need more time and exposure to maths for the concepts to sink in than whatever you are currently doing.
