Answer 1

You're transcript looks really good. Don't waste you're time retaking geometry. Rather take Pre-calculus, it has a lot of geometry and algebra. Besides Pre-calculus according to a university(can't recall it at the momment) says that Pre-calculus is the first step toward advanced mathematics. In addition Pre-calculus looks pretty good in a transcript. If you manage your time right with summer school and night classes( or credit by exam) you can take Ap Calculus which looks amazing in you're final transcript.

Hope it helps,
