learn lots of tricks.  They help you to do computations faster.  \n\nFor eg., like this question:\n\n379x231+391x1269\n\nYou would probably go, OMG, this is impossible.  \n\nBut if you take the 391 out from both sides you get \n\n391(231+1269)\n\nwhich = 391x1500\n\nSuddenly it's not so hard.  \n\nHere are some good sites:\n\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/me/marmalade/mathtips.html\n\nhttp://www.curiousmath.com/\n\n\nGood Luck!

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

first make sure you have the basic math skills down, then do problems...do problems and then do more problems...lots of practice can make anything easier...unfortunately there is no way to get around this...

-do some mathematics every day, like for 1 hour\n-ask a lot of questions

you need to practice mathematical equations... you won't have a computer conected to yahoo answers when you'll have your maths test!

read lots of books (or a dictionary), do well on math section, hence talk with your math teachers and ask for additional help. and yes there were a few people that did... friends of mine in fact...

hi...\nlooks like your frantic to become an einstein...\nanyway i just want to share some tips with you...\n\n* get to know all the formulas in your  standard  syllabus and little higher too..because maths alwasy means "the more cunning and clever ..the better you tackle the subject from all angles" cunning i meant the questions.. since those questions will be to find out who thinks out of the box..\n\n* try to analyse the data with the question and find equations relate closer to the answer..\n\n*mostly look intoalgebraic and arithmetic problems, quadratic equations,trignometric ratios, polynomials geometrical figures and graphs /statistics. i know these willbe common topics to you..but questions will be of a higher level\n\n* try to refer the previous or if possible any question of maths olympiad held previously ,so that you can refresh yourself with the questions\n\n* questions are not going to be simple since it is going to be tough... so spend enought  time with each of your math topic and try to work even difficult and unusual problems too..i.e which you havent worked out ..\n\n* relax and study..pray to god..he can help you face this challenge... so get prepared for the war with numbers\n\nall the best and good luck to you

the best way is memorization... some may say otherwise.  It will take a while, but multiplication is KEY to mathematics... if you dont get your mult tables, it will make math more tedious in the long run.  (trust me, I am a math teacher).  Start by writing your times tables over and over again.  Then either make or buy some flashcards.  Also, Get your parents and friends to quiz you.  \n\nGood luck!

Apply math to real life.\nI remember when I was in high school and i thought that some of the aspects of math were useless and I would never use it.\nI was wrong, completely wrong.\nI have used ratios to determine how to increase machine production on a elemental scale.\nI use fractions and decimals to determine daily outputs and averages.\nI use percentages in calculating payrolls, have to pay those taxes.\n\nIhe list goes on and on, I use math everyday in one way or another.\n\nJust use daily activities to teach math and I wish my teachers would have taught math that way.

Put things into pictures especially if you are figuring out math problems.  I always draw a picture.  It helps me understand and I'm not even a good artist.  Sometimes it is easier to remember a picture of information than just little pieces.

May be u r weak in mathematics!! or may b u took leave whn ur maths teacher taught u addition at school!!!

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!

Having excellent math skills and being able to block out distractions is the only sure-fire way.  No matter what anyone is saying, do the math in your head.
