    Out of curiosity what areas does it cover?

    I would review my notes from all classes taken. Retake the exams you were given in those classes to determine areas of weakness and start shoring up problem areas.

    the one that i can suggest regarding this math subject of yours is constant practice. I had problems when i was taking math

    subjects. I ask my professor and he told me that math can't be learned in just one night.

    Therefore, the best way to pass it is constant practice!

    Hope it helps!!

    The thing is I'm great in math, got a high grade but then the exam came along and really didnt reflect me.

    I also take longer on the questions, to make sure they're all 100% correct as this does determine if i get into university and stuff. So theres a time vs correctness problem.

    An old Chinese proverb says that "practice is the best instructor."

    that chinese proverb is great ;) without practice math will never be your friend, if you practice enough it will become as easy as addition.

    I have to agree. You NEED to practise. Do it now.

    Math is reflexive. It can't be studied by reading or taking notes. You need to DO it.

    The more you do it, the more you will be comfortable at attacking problems and variations of those problems.

    When you see them on a test its not, "Oh my god what do I do now. All these numbers. Arrggghhh."

    It's more like:

    "I've done this problem before and know how to solve it. All I gotta do is work with these numbers."

    Just do it. Do a little every night. Grab you textbook and do random problems that you are covering. Check your answer.

    If you are wrong stick with the problem. Figure out what you are doing wrong. Try different things. You will learn from those mistakes.

    It worked for me and I got 96% in math last semester.
