how do you remember all the algebra formulas in your head before a final?

I copied the formulas down on a peice of paper. One page pure formula. That way you don't forget it. That's why they make you write lines at school. So you remember not to do that bad thing again.\n\nOr you could make a song too it.\n\nOr an acronym.

Just memorize them. Write them down.

For the social final , I would reread all the notes you took in class. Then, pay extra attention to the things your teacher may have given hints on and the study guide(s) you may have gotten. If the teacher is on of those who leaves it all up to you , then pay attention to the tests you have already taken and go back over them. The ones you got wrong , go back and find the answers Make sure you REREAD THE CHAPTERS you are being tested on. The math final , study from the tests you have already taken or study the chapters the test is over. Go back and do the examples your teacher went over in class.  Do the math problems your teacher didn't have you do for h.w. Continue to do it  until your tried of doing them . Then stop and give your brain a chance to process all of the information you have  just read. Make you sure to separate the time you study for your  social final and your math final. If not , your head will explode.

Unless there's not a lot of material, never study the day before. split up the material over a time period that would allow you to study for it without feeling overloaded. What worked for me is reviewing all the material 1 or 2 days before the exam after having studied it all. \nSay you have 5 chapters for an exam. \nDay 1 study chapters 1 & 2, highlighting the important facts. \nDay 2 study chapters 3 & 4. \nDay 3 study chapter 5. \nDays 4 and/or 5 review the material that you highlighted. \nSometimes writing important notes while studying helps you remember.

Method 1.\n1.Use MS office to type your cheat sheet. \n2. When it's done, set the font size to about 4.\n3. Cut it into small size for easy hiding.\n\nMethod 2.\n1.Type all your answer/note.\n2.Hide your cheat sheet underneath your exam paper pretend it as the last page of your exam paper.  \n\nMethod 3.\na. Ask someone who took the exam (same professor different exam time)and ask for the exam question.\n\nMethod 4. (for Multiple choice)\na. look around for possible answer from people around you.\nb. go to the professor/teacher and pretend asking for some stupid question while you checking out the people's answer sheet which people had finished and handed in.\n\nMethod 5. \nWrite the answer on the table with pencil (which harder to notice by others) \n\nMethod 6. (only for exam which no one will know who you are)\nMake a fake ID for your friend and they take the exam for you.\n\nMethod 7.\nPay someone to take the class for you.\n\nMethod 8. (online exam)\nOpen all your electronic materials and search engine to search and find the answer. (your friend can help also)\n\nMethod 9.\nHide all the equation under your calculator cover.\n\nMethod 10\n1.Finish your exam paper but don't write your name.\n2.Hopefully someone forget to write their name on their exam paper.\n3. Clam the unnamed exam paper with the higher score is yours.\n\nMethod 11\nToliet break (to search the answer from textbook).

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.

If you're taking the course through a bricks-and-mortar college, see if the college has math tutors available.  \nIf you're taking the course online or your school does not have tutors, there are websites online with free worksheets to help you with troubling concepts. Try one of the following or search google for "algebra help":\n\nhttp://www.algebrahelp.com/lessons/\nhttp://www.algebra.com/\nhttp://www.purplemath.com/\n\nIf it's really troubling you and worksheets just aren't cutting it, try purchasing a game from Best Buy or another computer store that focuses on Algebra skills.  They really do help.

Practice with easy stuff that you can quickly remember.\n\nFor instance, if you want to be able to add numbers quickly, remember how to add numbers 1 through 9 to each other (ie 5 + 9 = 14; 2+8 = 10). Once you know these, try writing down double digit numbers and try to solve them in your head.  You will already know how to do the ones column.\n\nFor instance:\n   45\n+19\n-------\n64\n\nLearn easy problems first then move on to hard ones.  You can apply this to subtraction, division, and multiplication too.  It really is just practice that will make you better.

1.  Come prepared with pens, white-out, pencils, erasers and a watch.\n2.  Sit up straight and don't sit near people who will distract you.  If you often have questions during the test, sit near the front of the room.\n3.  If you have to read something and answer questions about it, start by reading the questions first.  Then you'll know what to look for when you're doing the reading, and can underline important passages as you read.\n4.  Trust your intuition and keep the first answer you selected.\n5.  Use the information from multiple-choice questions to help you write essay questions.\n6.  If you have to write an essay question, use the words from the question in your introductory sentence.\n7.  If you have a math test, always show your work.\n8.  Give priority to the questions that are worth more points.  Don't waste ten minutes on a question worth one point unless you're finished everything else on the test.\n9.  Before you submit your test to the teacher, go back and make sure you've answered all the questions and didn't miss a page.\n10. If you had to answer multiple-choice questions on a bubble sheet, frequently check to make sure you're filling in the right row.  ALL of your answers will be wrong if you accidentally miss a row or put two answers in one row.\n11.  Plan something fun to do right after the test so that you won't just sit around worrying for the next two hours!\n\nGOOD LUCK!

I suggest that you do ALL of the homework the same day it is assigned. Review that homework the next day BEFORE moving on to the next assignment to help memorize what you have done. If you have problems figuring out which formula to use, just memorize what formula does what. DO NOT use a calculator to do anything more than simple math. You won't learn a thing by programming your calculator to do it for you. ASK QUESTIONS in class if you don't understand something or need help in any way. Attend free tutoring sessions offered by your math department. Most colleges offer it. If they don't offer it PAY FOR IT from a tutor recommended BY THE MATH DEPARTMENT. Don't allow just anyone to tutor you, they may teach you bad habits.

I would do practice problems that require you to use them.  Even if you don't work out the problem all the way, understanding what formulas to use in each context is way more important than just knowing the formulas.  Flashcards are a quick and easy way too, just not quite as helpful in my opinion in the long run.  \n\nGood luck on the test.  I took a few years ago.  Just stay relaxed and don't panic.  They won't give you anything you haven't seen before, just take a deep breath and think about the possibilities for methods to solve a problem if you get stuck.  Especially on the free response, anything is better than nothing.  Give it your best, if you do that, than you can't do any better.

I asked the same question a while back ->\n\n1. don't leave class until you absolutely understand everything \n2. ask why - understand the method/process and you'll be able to do any sum\n3. avoid using a calculator - they don't show you the method, learn how to do complex equations with a paper and pen and your brain.\n\n(I'm 20yrs old - not 60!)

1) Attend every single class and pay attention\n2) Attempt ALL of the assigned homework\n3) Ask questions on anything fuzzy before moving on\n4) Do more homework than what is assigned\n5) Read the book before going to class\n6) Read the book again after the material is covered\n7) Take notes if you must but pay attention first\n\nRemember: Without algebra, there is no calculus. Without calculus, there is no science degree waiting for you in college.
