Math Study Tips!!

Daily class work

Understand key concepts - pay attention during lectures/lessons and make sure you can keep up 

Clarify with classmates, teachers, lecturers - ask questions after the lesson if you don’t understand, or even go for consultations to clarify (it’s better to clarify now instead of before a big exam and you realise you know nothing) (lol) 

Practice, practice, practice - math is all about practice and getting the hang of it, don’t give up!

Preparing for an exam/test

Know what’s being tested - list down all the topics that are being tested and make sure you understand every one of them

Practice by topic - do questions specific to each topic/concept so you know which you’re weaker in and you can dedicate more practice to it 

Do timed practices - try to do it in exam settings (quiet place for the whole duration of the paper) so you can truly test your understanding

Know your formulas - know which will be provided for you, which you need to memorise and even which are commonly tested

Know your calculator functions - I’ve been using my huge TI-84 calculator for 1.5 years and I still take a while to remember which function I need to use, this slows you down during papers - so use it often, breeze through the manuals if you need to

Time management - if you get stuck on a question for a long time, move on!! you’ll end up getting more frustrated and you waste time instead of doing questions you can score in (questions are not organised according to difficulty - some questions at the back can be easier than the ones in front!)

After the exam/test

if you can keep the question paper - go home and try to re-attempt the questions you couldn’t do with your notes - practice makes perfect!

if you have a second paper - check which topics were not tested and practice them more, there’s a higher chance that they’ll come out in the second paper!

Hey, guys, I did another post like this that you guys seemed to enjoy so here's another one with more tips (Middle school to high school edition) hope ya enjoy :)

Do NOT let anyone distract you from your goal, whether it’s your friends or people from your school or a teacher, focus and work hard and you can get there

Don't focus on popularity no matter if you wish you had so many other friends like those popular kids I’m 100% sure they’re not completely satisfied with themselves

Don’t take an AP class it’s going to be hard enough adjusting from the big workload, an AP class can really ruin your year wait at least till sophomore year

Be you this is so important and not all high schools are the same but the more popular kids in mine are kinda weird in their own way and they own their weirdness 

Focus if you weren't such a great student in middle school this is your time to shine especially since every year counts for college

Be prepared get those summer assignments done, have all your schedules and passwords somewhere findable this will make the transition so much easier
