Default Math Woes

Do not feel alone on this one, I too was out of school 20+ years when I started studying for this one. I did get a tutor, a Captain on base was nice enough to teach a small class for 2 weeks. My wife, who is quite a bit younger than me (read-info was fresher in her head), tutored me for a couple of weeks as well. I did the Peterson's practice tests but wish I hadn't; I'm not sure who wrote these but they had VERY little to do with the actual test (MUCH more difficult). My test consisted of word problems and basic High School math. There were a few questions on algerbra, geometry, and trig; when it came to those, I made a calculated guess and moved on--no need to waste time trying to act like I knew the answer. I walked out of there wondering why I put myself through a month of study hell....then I realized it was better to over-prepare than bomb it. Lee
