What was easier for you, Algebra 1 or Geometry?

Most people say algebra 1. I was pretty good at Algebra, and ended with an A-. But we had tons of HW everyday. With my Geometry class this year, we get no Homework, and our grade is 80% tests and I have a midlevel A. So I'd say It's much easier. Also I've heard something like If you're good at Algebra/Geometry you're rational/creative/smart/visual. Does anyone know the actual statement and if there's any truth to it.

I was better at algebra than geometry. I'm not a very spatial person. And it's entirely true that most people who are good at geometry are really visual, since geometry has lots of shapes and stuff. I can't wait to go back to algebra so I can crumch numbers again.

I don't think I ever did geometry, but somehow last year I was in calculus and this year I am taking statistics and abstract algebra.

I sucked at Algebra I and Geometry, probably Geometry a little more. IMO, Algebra II is easiest.

Algebra I was harder for me. Geometry is so much easier I think. I did better in Geometry than in Algebra I.

Geometry when I wasn't dealing with proofs.

Algebra II is easier than both imo.

Algebra 1 was easier than Geometry. Actually, both aren't that hard compared to H alg 2/Trig. Maybe I just feel alg 2/trig is hard because our teacher gives us so much homework.

Both classes were a nightmare for me. Algebra 1 was slightly easier, even though I got a higher grade in Geometry.

Algebra I - the second time. I took it in the eighth grade and got an 83. You needed an 85 to get the credit and our teacher had no idea what she was doing.

Definitely Geometry, but that's because of our teacher. As for the material, I understand Geometry just as well as I do Algebra, so not much of a difference.
