Don't listen to these idiots. If they answer a question in the swimming catagory, and don't know anything about swimming, forget them. Of course, while I'm answering, someone will give you a serious answer, and be offended that I called them and idiot. \n\nThe butterfly is rough. Basically you have to get some pool time. No real way to learn it without actually getting in the water.\n\nIt'd be better if you got someone who can do it to help you, but, you've seen the butterfly done, just do what you've seen. You gotta push hard enough to bring half your body out of the water, so you can swing your arms around in front of you. It hurts at first, and your chest is gonna ache, and you're gonna think you're having a heart attack, but just do it until you're worn out, then try again the next day. don't forget you're doing a dolphin kick, keep your legs together and move them in a fluid motion. It's not supposed to look like you're humping the water... more like doing the worm in break-dancing. When your upper body comes out of the water, it's like a wave traveling through your body from head to toe. \n\nI hope you can handle pain! Good Luck.

Paint your whole body in liquid latex (pick a colour you like.....maybe a bright purple). I'd love to see a mosquito get through that. ;)

Butterflies.  Simply with whatever weight you are using, put your arms out to the sides and bring them in front of you without bending your arms.  It's best to do it on an inclined bench or a machine.

Why did you wait until the night before the test to start crying out for help.\nNext time, make the teacher take time to bring understanding, even if it means staying afterschool.

They have test practice books out there on the market.  Invest in one.  As for confidence, you have to find that within yourself.  Maybe this just isn't the right career choice for you.  If you're positive it is, then the confidence will come when the time is right.  It's also what Basic Training is for.  Good luck!!

Only if you stop writing questions on Yahoo Answers and get back to studying!!!!!\n\nKeep going over the practice tests until you can get 80% or better every time and it will be no sweat!

turn over your ENTIRE house, and before you start, pray to God, our father above.\n\nTHIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TOO!\n\nI lost my Ancient Egypt project - 375 POINTS!!!\n\nI thought I was going to die, and I told my teacher. She trusted me, and let me have the time to do it over again, but I did the original project REALLY well, so I flipped over my entrire house, with a 5 minute break every 15 minutes to pray - AND I FOUND IT!\n\nP.S. - Maddie?

Butterfly is the greatest stroke ever!!!  It's the most physically challenging but is a wonderfully fluid motion and feeling if you can do it well.

Well from the sounds of it your already well on your way to doing very good on this test if it not till May.\n\nWhat you should do is find someone else is going to be taking this test in May and meet once a week and ask each other questions. You just need to start at this point, its a long way out. \n\nAs long as you put in some time now you'll be ok come May.\n\nGood Luck!

Practice whenever you can. If you forget a move while your at school ask a friend on the squad what a move is.If your routine has music try and get that music so you can get into the habit of performing it with music.and while learning or doing the dance try and think of shapes number things that the moves remind you of.\n\nHope that helped\nGood luck

Sounds like you have to ask yourself a bunch of quesitons about what's going on. Talk to the instructor and see if they have any thoughts on why you're struggling so much. \n\nI always did well on tests because I was calm. Make sure you get plenty of rest and eat a good breakfast or lunch before you take the test. When you study, try listening to music and then when the test comes to a point, try and recall the song you were listening to. Sometimes this gives you a new thought road to the answer.

Smile but don't be too cheesy... hit your motions, make sure they are tight and sharp. Make sure you are in the front to learn the dance and/or cheer... don't be afraid to ask questions... wear your school colors... remember you are there to try-out so socialize afterwards...work on the learned material at home... and relax!! If you mess up keep going because I have given people points for messing up but not stopping... it looks pretty bad if you panic... lastly have fun!!! Good Luck

I had  the same problem, I'd been out of high school for 4 yrs. Try to remember stuff from the test, don't try to remeber the answers, it will be a different test, but study the general knowledge type stuff that was on it, reading comprehension, math etc. take your time, use the scratch paper for the math. " when in doubt Charlie out" a common saying in the Navy for testing, meaning pick C if you've tried really hard to answer and rule out the stupid ones, or if your between A and C pick C. Fair winds and following seas...( means good luck!!)
