I have a College Algebra Enterance Test to take. I haven't taken math in 6 years. I need someone to help me pass it by joining me on Yahoo Messengers. It is 20 questions.

When taking an algebra entrance exam you should simply do your best so they can appropriately evaluate what class you should be in- it is for your benefit, but if you seriously need help.. IM me at flutterbyjuice@yahoo.com... I will be online for about 30 more minutes.

Is this a new program in your school district? Regardless, it seems to me that if you pass a course for high school credit, especially with an A or B, you shouldn't have to repeat it once you reach high school.\n\nIs your brother the jealous type? If so, I wouldn't put too much stake in what he said. Don't let him nor anyone else hold you back from trying out Algebra II as a HS freshman.\n\nMore power to you! \n\nI'm envious because my school system (8th grade class of 1980!) offered only general math up through 8th grade, though I and a few others were allowed a chance to complete Algebra I in the first semester and Geometry in the second semester as freshmen.\n\n\n\nBut to repeat:\n\nDO NOT LET ANYONE ELSE HOLD YOU BACK.

I know you're probably feeling overwhelmed with algebra, but the best thing you can do is to spend some time with an online ALGEBRA tutorial.  The really good tutorials go through every single step to get to a solution, which will review the prealgebra concepts that might be rusty for you.  I'd recommend something that has a brief lesson format, with examples, then some practice problems to make sure you're doing it correctly.\n\nI teach algebra, and these are a few of my favorites.  If my kids can't understand it the way I'm saying it, I'll check these sites to be able to explain a concept in a different way:\n\nhttp://www.PurpleMath.com is probably the best Algebra site out there.  \nMath Courses Online has some demo lessons at http://www.mathcourses.com/demos.html\nMath.com's pre-algebra section http://www.math.com/homeworkhelp/PreAlgebra.html has Examples, lessons and practice problems\n\nThe previous answerer mentioned Dr. Math which is also a favorite of mine.

An ACT test is geared definitely towards mathmatics (all types of it, too).  It also requires a lot of reading comprehension--this was my problem, because they give you passages that are so boring you must read and reread them to even get the gist of what it's about.  Science is involved, but it is the easiest part, in my opinion.  That's because I like that sort of thing.  You can do a Yahoo search for sample ACT tests, and see what you are headed for.  I would recommend that approach for now.  You don't have much time left.  When I took the ACT it was written form--I'm not sure it's changed or not to computer form.  But regardless, practice with the online testing and you will gain a better background and preparedness for the test.  Good luck to you!

Did it ever occur to the individuals that have answered in a derogatory manner that this person might be in the 3rd grade? Or that maybe they live in a country who's public education is less than the country your in?\nWhy does this have to be an "American issue"? it is a math question and one that someone needs help with.\n\nYou should be thankful that your teachers didn't take the same attitude your displaying with you when you learned it.\n\nLastly - even if this person is college graduate.. People forget things. Math comes as natural as walking to some to others it is a struggle to comprehend so cut them some slack. \n\nBottom line - If this question was so appalling or bothered you so much...you should have simply passed it by.\nInstead you chose to show your butts.\n\nThe answer the person is looking for is above. Yes if they are looking to increasee the size "to" 160% than multiplying by 1.6 works. If they are looking to increas the size "by" 160% than they need to multiply by 2.6.\n\nA heartfelt thank you to everyone that simply answered the question and tried to help.

Send an email or IM if you want math help.  Or, enter your question and someone will answer it.  There are some very good and helpful answerers on this website.  Or look 5 or six questions down; someone is offering free help.

Take it from someone who has been down the road a piece.  Algebra is a total waste of time.  You will never use it even once out of school.  Buy a $10 calculator and move on to a subject that will make you some money, like real estate or stocks.

This is pretty basic algebra and if you are in an electrical certification program or any other program for that mater you may want to consider taking some math courses before you try to continue.  I'm not saying that you can't nuc your way through it, but it will be allot easier on you if you take a step back and strengthen your math skills before tackling an electrician course.

Sounds to me like your new trig teacher is stupid and doesn't see your potential and she might be afraid that you might actually be smarter than her.  As for algebra alot of the teachers do require showing your work on test is shows that you understand the problem and are able to preform all steps to get it.  I know in your case you can do them in your head but the work always needs to be shown.  Keep at it and try going to a tutor or when you turn old enough take a higher math course at a community college and get your extra homework from them.  Good Luck and i hope all goes well.

It's really not for me to decide because i'm naturally good in math but i think you should continue becasue for example in my school, they require you at least take pre cal. but, ultimately it's your decision and yours alone. so good luck with whatever you pick. if you're choosing to go on, you can get a tutor if you're really bad.

What math test do you take?  I'm in Algebra 1 and I only remember 1 question.  It's impossible.\n\nSomeone has a total of 100 coins in dimes and quarters.  The total value adds up to $14.05. How many quarters does she have?\n\nA) 27 (I chose this-it's a dollar off)\nB) 40\nC) 56\nD) 79 (I forget-it's way too high)\n\nWell, that's all I have.  Bye bye!\n\nThanks to the guy who solved that.  I won't get a zero now!

I am also a 7th grader and I know what you mean when you say that we have presure and stress. People think that were to young to have stress and all that! If you don't understand the questions in algebra than you should get help from your parents or (even though you dont want to) your teachers. I am in accelerated classes so none of my teachers expect me to ask a lot of questions but I found that asking questions is better than not passing tests and homework assignments! So, dont let the pressure get to you and when you dont understand get help. Just because you ask questions does not mean that you need extra help! Remember that and you will feel the pressure let off a bit! GOOD LUCK!! I hope that can help you get rid of some of your pressure!

I took it on April 1st (I'm also in ninth grade) and it was pretty easy. Lots of questions about revising sentences, and miscellaneous math questions. You should do fine :).

I am sorry but I have to agree with those who posted before me.  I could have just not answered this and you would have never known how I felt and then later on when I ask a question who wouldn't say "oh that's the guy who didn't answer my question, so I won't answer his" but I feel like it is important for me to say that yes this is a site for you to get help and I don't believe for an instant that any of us here would not help you, but this isn't help.  We would actually be hurting you to give you the answer to your problem.  We can teach you how to do it and then you can do hundreds of them on your own without us, or we can give you this one answer for your homework grade and let you fail on this test and any others that come along with this on it.\n\nI hope that you understand that we are not trying to be rude to you or to judge you or anything.  I know I'm not anyways, we just want you to be as successful as you can possibly be and if you try hard and study hard and really put in the effort than there is nothing that you can't do, including chemistry!\n\nGod Bless, \nChris
