Instead of memorizing all the equations,understand how they are derived.Try to do it yourself.If you can't go to someone who knows for help.

If you can do basic math (add, subtract, multiply or divide) you can do it. Unless you are going for a Subject Test for Math, then you need to get a study guide available from the test company or online.\n\nGood Luck

The best way to study math and is to make sure you understand all the fundamentals. Relate them to things you already understand. \nDo lots of different types of problems to figure out what to don't understand.

The math section in SAT tests mostly the very basic Math of your math foundation. Definitely nothing you would not have already done in high school. Read the questions carefully and make sure you understand what they are asking.\n\nPractice a lot beforehand and you should be well-prepared enough to take the exam when the day arrives.

I do not know of any good stratagies that will allow for you to simply guess the correct answer for multiple choice exams.  How ever since it is multiple choice you are in luck, half the work is already done for you.  With that said let me pass on to you some helpfull advice given to me by my high school math teacher.\n\nDepending on your level of understanding in math you will be able to use this:\n\n1. Almost all multiple choice exams are set up so that if you just look at the problem you should be able to eliminate one answer imediately.  You can look at the values given in the problem or what format you know the solution will be in and eliminate an answer.\n\n2. As you work the problem you will be able to eliminate more answers.  You rarely need to work the problem to completion to find the answer (unless you do not have a firm grasp of the basic concepts).  You will start to notice that some of the answers are not what you expect the problem to resolve out to.\n\n3. There will always be some that you will need to work out depending on your understanding of math.  By using the elimination method you will have more time during the test to devote to those that you are having difficulty.  Try going through the test and answering the easy ones first.  Then make a second pass to work on the difficult problems.\n\n4. Never leave an answer blank!!!  If you do not know then make an educated guess, or at least a guess.  If you are given an equation to evaluate then you should be able to plugin one of the answers and solve the problem backwards.\n\n5. If you find yourself wanting to change an answer, don't.  The only reason to second guess your first instinct is if you know you were absolutly wrong.  Sometimes questons later in the test might help you to work one of the first problems.  So make sure you keep making passes through the test until you end up with all questions answered.\n\nAfter hearing of this method I started to use them.  When I was in High School I only took up to Pre-Cal.  When I went to college I took a Math placement test.  Well, I used this method and ended up placing out of Cal3.  Not the best situation, but they ended up using my placement as Clep credits so I never had to take a Math class while I was at that college.\n\nWhen studying math concentrate on understanding the fundamental concepts and building block functions.  Once you understand that much about math, you will find that you will have an easier time with more advanced classes and new concepts.  Try using any confusing math concept in a real world application (other than something involving 2 trains), and you will find that they will start to make sense.

Study and do practice problems, ask your teacher or get a tutor.

make sure you know what's going to be on the final so u don't end up spending all of your time studying something that's not gonna be on the test. you might want to ask your teacher for a study guide or a general idea of what the test is going to be like. make sure you know if the test is going to be mutiple chose, matching, fill in the blank..etc. that way u know how hard to study because if it's all multiple chose...u probably won't have to study as hard. if u have to memorize things then use acronyms (i think that's how u spell it) or other memonic devices. also make ur studying fun and think up of fun ways to remember things so that way on the test you'll remember how to do it...just make sure u study and good luck on the test!! :)

You should be fine.  Just get some practice exams similar to the one you will be expecting.  Most standardized math exams have questions that are the same.  Work the practice exam.  If you can not remember things, hire a tutor for a few hours, that will speed things up greatly.  Don't stress, just practice.  You will do fine.  If this seems to daunting, go to a learning center at a local community college.  You can usually get free tutoring for hours.  Good luck.

Well, while the first answer is right, that probably doesn't answer your question if you're struggling.  \n\nI could try to explain, but your best bet would be face-to-face, one-on-one tutoring.  \n\nMost teachers (I stress MOST) are really understanding and really WANT you to learn.  They will usually stay after or come before school to meet with you to help.  If your math teacher won't do this, ask your counselor (not a math teacher, I know, but surely has been to college and had to take math courses). Just tell them your situation, and stress to them that you really WANT to learn it.\n\nOnce you get the basic understanding, they're not that bad.  \n\nGood luck, sugar.\n\n\n********\nPS  Jedi's answer is along the right track, but 2/3 is NOT the same as 2/9...\n\nYou have to take your denominator (the bottom number) and figure how many times it goes into 9.  That would be three times.  NOW you have to take that 3 and multiply it by the numerator also (the top number)... which would give you six (2 x 3)\n\nLike this (keep in mind that 3/3 is the same as 1, so when you multiply 3/3 by something, you're not changing the value of the first number, only the way it looks)...\n\n2/3 x 3/3\nmultiply across;  2 x 3 = 6\n                                 3 x 3 = 9\n\nnow you have 6/9, and since the bottom number is the same now as your 8/9 in the problem, you can subtract it from the 8/9.\n\n8/9 - 6/9 = 2/9\n\nGet it?

memorize simple rules and try to derive the hard ones from simple ones and then to be fast then memorize the diffucult rules.Trigonometry is simple if you know basic El-Cebir well

I completely understand! I have high schoolers, and have to nearly re-learn to help them!\n\nYahoo education has help with algebra;\nhttp://education.yahoo.com/homework_help/math_help/chapter_list?id=minialg1gt \n\nSo does math.com:\nhttp://www.math.com/homeworkhelp/Algebra.html \n\nPhysics help:\nhttp://www.physics247.com/ \n\nGood luck to you!

Find ways to incorporate motion into your studying (writing, flashcards, etc.).\n\nGet a board game like trivial pursuit, monopoly, etc., make new cards with the information you need to learn, and play the game, drawing one card each turn and answering it before you get to move your piece.\n\nTo memorize lists, go get a basketball, and bounce the ball. For each bounce, say one item on your list.\n\nTo remember and analyze overall concepts, find a way to apply them around your house (especially for science). For social studies, find something you can do that is close to what the historical figures did (but safer), and do it while thinking about them.

OK:\na good way to study geometry is as follows.\nin class, take meticulous notes. try using Cornell notes technique. works great,. google Cornell notes, for that.\nsecond. always study geometry right away, either after class, or before other subjects. its a hard subject therefore it should be done first.\nHome work problems should be done, while reviewing notes. if you get stuck, review notes or textbook. always try to memorize the important postulates and theorems. but don't just read them, try to understand them.\nexample, the area of a Rhombus is 1/2times the product of the diagonals.. if you don't understand what the names are, you won't understand the problem. diagonals means, segment from corner to corner. product is what you get when you multiply.. etc.. vocabulary is the most important part of geometry, specially the first part of geometry. usually the second semester is more algebraic in nature. \nthe first semester involves proofs, so language is extremely important.\nand after you done homework, always review, review. daily... give yourself enough time everyday for math.... do this on a regular basis and you can an A.. very possible.\nGood luck.
