suggestions to improve your study skills.
• Do the homework assignments daily. Most math subjects build on each other, and if you do not learn the first concepts in the class, you will have difficulty understanding the new ones. Doing the homework assignments is also very good practice for the test.
• Write down all hard to remember formulas, equations, and rules as soon as you get the test. When you get to a problem that requires a formula, you will not have forgotten it.
• Read directions carefully. Make sure you answer all parts of the questions.
• Read the directions of every single problem! Do not assume what the question is asking when you can know what it’s asking. Break down the question if you need to. This will help you know exactly what equation you need to use or what direction to go.
• Show all work. Partial credit may be awarded. Write as legible as possible.
• Skip hard problems. If you come to a hard problem, skip it and come back to it later if time permits.
• Recheck problems. If you have time after finishing the test, recheck problems. One wrong sign could change the answer.
• Write legibly. The grader can not give partial credit if he or she is unable to read the steps you used to find the answer.
