How do you try hard to pass a math test?

shut off the computer and xbox and study, but smash your ipod and cell phone first, and shoot the tv

Whenever you are taking tests that are combined, such as Math and science, concentrate on the subject area you know best. I, personally, suck at science, so I put all my energy into the math questions. That helped me ace that section of the test.\n\nAlso, lots of universities and school districts offer CSET prep courses. Best of luck to you!

Don't make it harder than it has to be.\nThink of it as puzzles you're trying to solve, like a game.\nDon't MEMORIZE things.  Instead, understand concepts and methods, and you won't have to memorize much.  Ask lots of questions and be very calm and patient with whoever is answering.\n\nThink positively.  The mind is very powerful, and if you say, "I'm a good learner.  I can do math.  Math is useful," then you will start to believe it.  Really.

I find that in order to know math really well you gotta practice, practice and practice. Take out a math book and just do some examples. You will see were you are weak (ask someone for help, of course) and many times you come across a difficult or tricky example you will be glad you came across while studying and not during the test. Good Luck!

I never liked math when I was in school, either.  Now that I am in college, it is getting more and more difficult.  I try to make a bit of a game out of it.  Allow yourself to be proud when you get the correct answer.  Math is a challenge and it is supposed to be challenging.  If you get a good grade on a test, do something great for you.  Talk to your parents about rewards to can get for doing well.  If you can't enjoy the process, at least you can enjoy the sweet reward of success!  (I always do a little happy dance when I get the correct answer.  But I am a little crazy)

About 15 years ago, I needed to very quickly brush up on my math skills for a job interview.  In High School, I always did fine in math class, but I realized I had forgotten a lot.  I bought a book (yellow cover) for people getting their GED.  No joke.  The book was so simple and concise, that in about 2 days, I had completely reviewed all the High School math.  It was that easy.\n(P.S.  After taking the math test, the job interviewer remarked, "We're really not supposed to tell you your exact results, but I have to say that in all the years I've been administering this test, no one has ever scored this high!"\n\n.... all that, for just a couple day's review... with a GED book.

bionicflux,\nPractice is the best way to get really good at math. When I was taking math classes and the teacher told us that our homework assignment was 'all the even numbered questions', I always did ALL the questions.  And I got lucky because he always used the odd numbered questions on the tests!\n\nHere are a few good websites for helping out.  It would be good to know what level/grade you are at so that appropriate math sites could be recommended.\n\nThis web site was developed to help students improve their math skills interactively. \nhttp://www.aplusmath.com/\n\nMath topics with interactive practice, explanations and challenge games for each.\nhttp://www.aaamath.com/\n\nOffers free math lessons and homework help, with an emphasis on geometry, algebra, statistics, and calculus. \nhttp://www.math.com/\n\nGoogle search results\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLR,GGLR:2005-49,GGLR:en&q=math+skills

Study, Study, Study. if your doing well in all your other classes, just ut your mind into your math class. Maybe take time before or after school with your teacher. Or maybe get a tutor?

If you try your best in mathematics theres a possibility you will pass. If you want to pass aim for no.1 though you may not be no.1 atleast you will pass because you did your best. Also if you have a hard time in tests make it up in assignments projects etc. also behavior goes a long way.

I think that what's so tough about math, and why everybody hates it so much, is that it's kind of like "gym class" for the brain.  It's hard at first, even painful if you're not used to it, but the only way for it to get better is to do a bunch of hard, boring exercises until you get used to it.  Just as exercising is hard at first, once you start building up muscles it starts to get easier.  It's almost literally the same way for your brain, except instead of "building up" your brain, you're actually creating new pathways in your brain.  It's like clearing a path through a jungle; it's really hard going at first, but it gets easier each time you go over it.\n\nYou do have to "get it" to begin with, though.  That's where your teachers come in.  If you're not understanding something, get them to help.  That's their job.  You may want to talk to your parents about it, and maybe look into getting a tutor.\n\nGood luck.  Just remember:  The second time is always easier than the first.  The third time is easier than the second.  The fourth time...

Consider which subjects are your strongest and which subjects are your weakest. Then, study more for your weakest, and some for your strongest subjects. I have more trouble in Math, than in History, so I always study for my Math tests more than for my History tests.

Study hard...and do the homework, believe me, I'm not just saying this, it really helps. I could have passed Calc II if I had simply done the homework. Even though it doesn't count toward your grade, it helps you make sure you're really learning the material!

Math is about finding easier ways to solve more problems.  If it's still hard, you're not there yet.  Keep trying.

1.Read the text, slowly and clear ur concepts in between\n2.Read again briskly, underlining the important points.\n3.Make notes of any extras that u know, or u find hard to remember.\n4.Study's shud have a regular regime, give proper 2 hrs if u're not in high-school, otherwise make it 4 hrs., its important.\nFruits are gained either by regular studies/by mugging up to gain marks, i dont like the latter, bcos its not long time, u have to make a start, sticking on to the method above, gradually u'd increase ur speed of learning, and u'll do more in less time.Good Luck!!!!!\nYa n i forgot the maths-well u do sums, solve problems...start from 2 per day to 100 per day, first clear main concepts, n have a command over elementary mathematics...go further n solve problems, its laborious, but fruitful, u wont need to clear concepts again n again if ur basic is strong.Make it strong now or  never, u shud take anyquestion in the book, and start, try teaching maths to juniors, it really helps.

1. read each question carefully.\n2. on your first pass, answer only the questions you are certain of.\n3. make a second pass through the test, carefully reading the remaining questions.\n4. make your best attempt at answering each remaining question.\n5. if you have time, go back through the entire exam, carefully re-reading each question, AND your answer to it.

I do hope you are scoring around 80 % now and want to score 100%. If you are at still lower level then lot of efforts is needed,\nPRACTISE MAKES PERFECT .\nYou have to solve all the problems in each chapter . and when ever you get spare time mentally refresh the probelems and answers.\nOnce one chapter is over borrow mathematics books prescribed by  other schools for yourclass and solve problems given there for the same chapter.\nConstant practise would familiarise you to the technique of problem solving and you would find it a childs play to solve any problem in less than half the time others take. \nYou can review your answers too. best of luck

Just sit down.. and do every question if u have a text book. this method helps me keep my grades in maths.
