Over time – even by the end of your first semester of studying math like
a good little geek – you’ll find that
you can study for longer and longer periods
without getting fried. By the time I was a
senior working on my B.S. (uh, that
stands for “Bachelor of Science”), I could,
literally, study for 8 hours straight
and not get tired. Good thing too, because I
was taking three math classes at
a time.
Study to Really Know it
When studying for a math test, you have two
main goals:
1) You need to learn the material so you can
do well on the test. (Hello,
“Captain Obvious!”)
2) You need to learn the material well enough
so you will still know it at the
end of the semester for the final exam AND so
you will still know it next
semester!!! Most of you will be taking more
than one math class and most of
these classes are in sequence like Beginning
Algebra, Intermediate Algebra
and College Algebra. So, not only are you
expected to remember all the math
you learned in the 4th and 5th grades
(brutal)… You have to remember all the
stuff you’re learning now! It hardly seems
far, does it? Well, these classes
ALWAYS depend on the material you learned the
previous semester. If you
don't really learn it… and I mean REALLY learn
it – not just cramming it into
your head for the test – you’ll crash and burn
the next course!
