How to Prepare for Math Exams

Taking math examinations can be made easier by keeping up with your homework. Do the problems as they are assigned. Math usually builds from one problem or chapter to the next. If you understand the first step, you can start to understand the next one. Be sure to pay attention in class. Not paying attention will lead to much more time spent studying.

Try to get into a study group with several other students. By talking about the problems, you can find out how well you know them. Have an idea of what to expect from your teacher. Either find old tests or talk to others who have had the professor. Time yourself while doing your homework to see if you are ready for a test situation.

When you get your test, look over the entire document. Get an idea of what is being asked so you can set priorities as to which problems need the most attention.

Make sure that you read the instructions. Not doing what is asked is one of the most common ways to miss test questions. If you write out your work on one paper then copy it on the test, recheck it to make sure that you have written out each step correctly. Make sure that you do not skip a step in solving a problem.When using a calculator, be sure to go back and redo the numbers. You can easily punch in a wrong number, but the odds that you will do it twice are not as high.

When taking your test, if you get to a problem or an area of problems that give you trouble, go on to the next section. You can always go back to the problem after you have completed the others. Always check the answers on your test paper before handing in your paper.

Time yourself at the beginning of a semester after reading one chapter of your textbook. That will give you an idea of how long you need to plan to study throughout the year. Take a look at the first chapter of the book. Scan over the material, reading the first sentence in each topic or paragraph. Check out the notes and the diagrams. Look at the nouns and verbs rather than the extra words. Find the main concepts first. When reading to comprehend, read the text first then go back to take notes. Go over the section and number or list the important ideas. It may be helpful to underline or use a highlighter for important ideas. If you have questions, mark these in the test. That way you can ask your teacher or in class. It is a good idea to find a way to compare your reading, yours notes and any audiovisual or internet materials in order to better underst

Explore A Child’s Learning Potential With Private Tuition

Image
Jackie Wong   M ost people conveniently associate the need for  private tuition  with poor academic results. In actual fact, there are good reasons why outstanding students should engage themselves in tuition sessions as well. While these children have demonstrated their academic excellence through their examination results, relying purely in learning in class can severely limit their learning potential. In a classroom setting, due to the high students to teacher ratio, teachers are often forced to progress the syllabus at a pace that allows breathing space for poorer students to catch up. Such method become a hindrance to quick learners who have understood what they have studied, but see their enthusiasm to advance curbed by the lack of proper guidance. Forced Braking After a prolonged period of slowing down and waiting, students may begin to lose their interest and drive. Their passion for knowledge will slowly dwindle into complacency as they realise they are better than their peers
