What math class should I take next year?

Question

I'm in 8th grade, and I take honors geometry, and geometry is a 9th grade class. And it's honors. It's pretty easy, I'm getting an A- right now. Last year I took Algebra 1. I got nothing but B's the entire year. I could have done better, but I think it was just because that was the first year I actually struggled to understand something. I had just breezed through math before, and I wasn't used to having to work hard to get a good grade. And I hated math at the time, but it's grown on me since then. So, now's the time of year that I need to register for next year, (9th grade) and I have two options.

I could take an all year course (we have trimesters) that's called Algebra & Quadratics and Algebra 2. Algebra & Quadratics is basically just a review of Algebra 1. And then I would take regular ol' Algebra 2. If I did this then it would take up an elective space, which I could be using for something else. (most math courses are 2 tris) If I took this option, then I would just have to take Honors Algebra 2 the following year, because that's a requirement for Trigonometry. And taking the easier version first would make Honors Algebra 2 a lot easier.

Or I could skip the first option altogether take Honors Algebra 2. If I did this, then I could take an elective. I think I would be okay in it, but it would be a lot of work. And it has a weighted GPA, the first one doesn't.  And it would set me up for Trig & stats as a sophomore, and then calculus. I've always been in advanced math classes, so I don't think it would be bad. I want to be challenged, but I don't want it to be too hard. 

I'm torn.

I was a freshman with ALgebra 2 when i was in High school.
I ended up getting the highest score all the time, while the other's would get scores generally below me for their age.

Take it, it's up the challenege.

all right, i became interior the comparable chair as you, final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. In eighth grade I took Algebra a million(the utmost type) and that i had an A. for top college, I went to a private college and had to take a attempt to get into Geometry, and that i did no longer bypass by 2%, so i'm now taking Algebra ! lower back, Honors, and am nevertheless getting an A, etc. i could advise taking Algebra lower back, despite if or no longer you 'prefer to'. stepping into college, you're taking the SATs, and once you're taking them once you're in eleventh grade(junior). The SATs math element is on Algebra II, which may well be appropriate in case you began freshman 3 hundred and sixty 5 days taking Algebra... :)

Well algebra 2 (a mixture of geometry and algebra) comes after geometry at my school and its a little difficult but I'd take honors your freshman year. Then depending on how you do that year I'd take pre-calc your sophomore year, calc your junior year and either trig or stats you senior year. good luck(: whether you take honors or not is up to you!
