MATH fucking math

May 10, 2010 13:26

I applied to Georgia State and as a unconventional student (or whatever they call it) I have to take a test called the Compass, and probably the SAT too.

I forgot how bad I am at math. I am really really really really really really bad at math. Unless it's calculating tips in my head.

Any suggestions?

actually the compass test is really pretty easy (my husband took it after having been out of school for over 9 years and he did alright). basically its just a placement test to help determine which remedial classes (if any) you'll need to take while at GSU.

this website seems to be mostly about preping for that exam: http://www.testprepreview.com/compass_practice.htm

maybe it will help you?

plus, calculating percentiles is actually a skill most people find hard to do, so at least you know you've got that one down!

SAT has free prep websites as well; same website.

Dahrling...

Math almost killed my Degree... I had to take General Math, then Algebra I... then the Bastards were going to make me take Algebra II in my Bachelors Program... but after some research, found out I could take (another) Statistics class - (which means I'll take 2) - which I have heard, can be just as SUCKY* There is a Light at the End of the Tunnel However my Dear Lady, & this is why I am responding...

There is an online tutoring service that SAVED MY ASS... Here is there website: http://www.tutorvista.com

I swear to my Godhead~ I thought I was going to lose my Mind. 27 weeks in a row of continuous torture (including one Failed class)~ I was intellectually raped by numbers... UGH*

Tutor Vista will save your Sweetness... It's cool, they are in India. There is an online chalkboard & they'll help you with anything. It costs some money, so set some aside so you can truly take advantage.

Hope this helps... good luck! x0x Keep us posted! LVX~X0X
