Take the test. If you don't pass then you need to get help so that you will be able to pass the next one!

Practice and hard work will make a big difference.  So will having a good tutor.\n\nIf you're very weak in math, you'll want to focus on the basics.  Get a 6th-8th grade math workbook, and make sure you've mastered the material.  Multiplication, division, order of operations, fractions, decimals, etc.  The biggest reason students have trouble with math in high school is that they haven't mastered the basics.  Do hundreds of problems in the workbook.  If that's difficult, then it's a clear sign you need to keep doing more problems.  If you finish the workbook, and you're not getting over 90% correct, get another workbook.  If you need help with any type of problem, ask for help.  If this is important to you, you should spend at least 12 hours per day during your winter break on studying.  (How's that for a guideline?)\n\nIf you've mastered the material up to 8th grade math, get the book of sample SATs and the SAT math workbook, both produced by the College Board.  You can find both at your bookstore, or at Amazon.\n\nTake a full exam to identify all the problems you don't know how to do, so you can focus your efforts.\n\nTry to learn how to do each type of problem that you miss.  If you can't figure it out on your own, ask someone for help.  Consider getting a tutor.  You want to be prepared to solve not only the given problem, but any variations on it.  So if you were to get the same problem, but with a different set of numbers, you should be able to solve it.\n\nThen go to the SAT math workbook, and study the material that you're weakest in.  Do the problems at the end of each chapter.  If you run out of problems, Barron's, Kaplan, and Princeton Review all produce decent SAT review books.\n\nEvery week, take another exam to monitor your progress and identify the problem areas.  You should see a steady progress in your score if you work hard at it.

No. Be confident if you are going into the 5th grade. The only way you will ever be bad at math is if you don't listen, don't ask questions, aren't confident, or don't pay attention. You'll do fine. Don't stress.

Buy that CSET book and look at the practice tests, brush up on your math.  Start taking it early and do not take all three sections at once take like 2 at one time and then take the last one by itself.  Don't forget  to pray.  Before you take the test choose one answer that you will mark when you absolutely don't know an answer, everytime mark that letter.  When I didn't know an answer I marked "A" every time . Thats what I did and I passed, not becauase I was so smart but because I tried to strategize and prayed.

if you really want math then pursue it but if not then it's time for you to shift to another course. a friend of mine used to tell me this saying whenever i'm in the state of dilemma like yours, i'd rather be a failure at something i enjoy than be a success at something i hate... its up to you now to decide

Best way to study for a Math test... Do TONS of practice problems for the stuff that will be on the test... just random questions from your assignments that will be covered on the test.  Make sure the answers are in the back of the book... check your answers and if you get them wrong.  Ask your teacher to help you with those you don't know how to do.   If thye give you a practice test DO IT... and find a buddy to study with...\nGood luck on your tests

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!

I can sympathize with you because I am terrible at math.  But, of they gave it to anyone who is "just not a math person" the whole testing system would be skewed and GEDs would become useless.  You did great passing all those other parts.  Your anxiety is probably inhibiting you.  Learn some relaxation breathing exercises and review a little math every evening.  You can also sign up for Adult Basic Education math classes at your local school board (or nearest big city).  You can do it...I do really bad when I get worked up, and that might be your problem.  Also, slow down and take your time.

A placement test only tells you where you stand as far as knowledge, in comparison to others. No credit for it, but it should be free to take.

you need to do a bunch of problems to get comfortable with formulas and with the math.  just do all the problems in the back of the book and you'll be fine.  if you're still having problems go see your professor or TA

It depends on how they grade the test, which they usually will mention. If they penalize you for wrong answers, then don't answer questions you don't know. If they only count your right answers and get a total score, then go for it. When I took my college math placement test, it was multiple choice and we were not penalized for guessing. I was lucky and placed into Calc I. Good luck!

Get an SAT book, and learn all the different types of question format so that when you take the real test, you will skip the tipe to read on how to correctly answer the question cause you already know, and you'll have more time to work on answering the question.\nIt might not sound as much of a help, but believe me, it helped me very much. The SAT has breaks during the exam, but all the time, i was done sooner than the others and i got a pretty damn good score.
