I have to ace a 70 question test for my college algebra course… If I fail again I’m out for good.
I slept throughout most of the homework assignments (I have my reasons, work related issues) and I’m already on my second attempt at this course. This test is my last chance.
I’m looking for your best advice on how to focus and actually assimilate the information.
Each one topic is really easy on its own, but when confronted with 70 questions, each topic with its own caveats… I struggle to remember procedures, “side effects” or common tricks, e.g. I forgot how to factorize (x^3 +1) in the middle of resolving a fraction division and lost an invaluable half hour finding out how mad easy it was… I need to internalize such trivialities at my core on top of learning all the mayor topics.
And advice, tips and tricks to study? I have a good month to get ready.
I used to build a cheatsheet of all the formulae or parts I didn’t have memorized, then only study that sheet, then next session make a new sheet removing the parts you now can do from memory. Repeat until day of test you don’t need to look at any of the sheets to know the all methods.
