Any Tips on passing College Mathematics

[madamecj26]

Hi,

I only have two classes left to graduate. One is math and another is part of my major. I donot want to take the class and it would be hard to do so, because of the availabilty next term. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Do a search in these pages and in the prep material for test section. There are a ton of suggestions. I'm currently studying for this test and am using the support of a Math tutor. Many of the concepts are new to me, (I took math in high school a million years ago), so this has been very helpful. hilarious

I also have just two classes left and I have a degree.

good luck.

madamecj26,
I posted the link to the Specific Exam Feedback section located on this forum's homepage. There you'll find feedback from some very knowledgeable people who have already sat the test.

I took the test and prepared much like Calboy mentioned above. I found a tutor for two weeks and my wife helped me for a couple a weeks as well. It had been 20+:eek: years since I touched a algebra problem. Good luck, and yes, you can do it! Lee

Thanks so much.

I have been studying on th IC and I think I will get one of the Clep books. Algebra isn't so much the problem. It is the sets and all the extra stuff I never heard of before. I studied math in Germany so a lot of this is new to me. Thanks!

I get the Algebra stuff, but those story problems kill me. I failed my Penn Foster final by one point. I ran out of time (1 hour only) trying to figure out those story problems. Any ideas?

I've wasted months just trying to get these three Math credits, I wish I'd gone the B & M route. Something about pride and sitting in a Math class with eighteen years olds, not to mention the horror of testing in to a remedial Math level.

All you Psych majors, should recognize this post as "catharsis".

I'm getting bent out of shape about this exam too. I'm taking it tomorrow. (bites nails)

I took the practice test and got 33 out of 50 right. I know that's an okay margin to pass but it's kind of a slim one and I'm nervous. What's bugging me is not that I didn't understand the problems--most of them I thought I understood and felt quite confident that I was right. Obviously I wasn't. Phooey. There were only about four or five problems that I had no clue what to do with, so I guess it's just my own brain errors. Those are the worst kind. Ugh. I'm getting nervous.
