So... I got registered today for this math test that I have to take in order to enroll in college. I take the test on October 21st. And I've been working on the study guide and sample tests for about the past half hour...I only know a few things though. I haven't had math in about four and a half years. ugh. I'm never gonna pass this thing.

Yes you will , just study it calmly and with a clear mind. I hate math and I'm not very good at but I would pass it because I would look over the material later on at home more calmly and don't be afraid to ask for help from a friend or Keith. Maybe you can even ask at the school if they have any tutors or such. Don't worry April I'm sure you'll pass

thanks shanny I'm having a bit more confidence about it now... I looked at the THEA website (the test is called that) and they had a practice test on there, so I just cut-and-pasted that onto Word and printed it out for me to work on during my flights. It's got all of the formulas and definitions listed there for me. I'm also going to ask my dad for help when I'm over there this weekend. So yeah, I hope all this helps.

just remember that you will have to deal with math the rest of your life. so this will be the first of many tests. good luck with the first most important one though.

Yes, like Shanny said, just be calm about it and Im sure you'll do fine. Math has alwways been hard for me. Just do what you are doing and find all of the resourse that you can to help you.

yeah.. I think I'm just gonna plan on taking that zero credit course though. Because I tried working a few of the problems on the practice test...and I ended up just giving up because I was too frustrated. My dad tried to help too, but once we got to a certain part of the test, HE couldn't even figure it out. Granted, he hasn't had math in like 30 years... but yeah... thanks though.

I know it looks overwhelming but just take a deep breath and look through all of it calmly. Don't worry too much about it, you're a smart girl and I know you'll pass .

lol yeah same here.. the test is over and done with now though.. so hopefully I did okay.. I don't really feel like I did.. I had to guess on alot of the questions.. because I had no idea how to figure them out. But either way, if I have to take that no-credit course, it'll help in re-establishing my math skills.
so it all works out. I'm just glad that I am finally able to get a move on with this college thing.

Are you going into something very math heavy? If not, maybe it won't kill you even if you didn't do great

well, I'm gonna go into some aspect of graphic design... the only thing math heavy that I can think of concerning that field would be the computer programming part of it. But I don't think designing has a whole lot to do with math.
