Question

I want to take notes on for a math practice test, but the lessons give me tons of pages. I just want to get the basics of it, what should I note on and what would be useless information?

Answer 1

The more you know the better you will do.

Answer 2

So..? I should just read it all. There is like 9 lessons each at least 4 pages long. ._.

Answer 3

Well, as I said the more you know the better. Is it a full page of notes? Or just showing how to do problems?

Answer 4

It's a full page if not a little more..

Answer 5

Well, you should of course read it once(if not twice), then copy down what was most important. There really isn't a supplement for reading. :)

Answer 6

Gah. The lessons have a review after the reading the lesson. And a practice test.. and it would take a long time to finish. I guess I'm just trying t rush something you can't rush. \:

Answer 7

Take notes on everything except where there are over-repetitions on examples of problems. If a problem is really only "more of the same" you don't need to take notes on the repeats of problems that are basically set up the same way. That's just practice, which is good, but you don't need EVERY problem in your notes. And the more you understand general principles, the better off you will be.

Answer 8

what kind of questions? algebra? trig? calculus?

Answer 9

Oh okay. I plan on staying up really late tonight. Wish me luck. e_e

Answer 10

And they are algebra questions.

Answer 11

Paul's online cheatsheets i felt was always best...
here's the one for algebra: http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/pdf/Algebra_Cheat_Sheet.pdf

Answer 12

Definitely! Good luck. Patience, sticking with it, calmness, will all help. Good luck to you.

Answer 13

OMG Thank you @dpalnc and all of you. :3

Answer 14

true also...^^^

Answer 15

yw...:)

Answer 16

I'll reply here if I have any more questions.. ;)

Answer 17

Probability is the measure of chance.
• We can generally describe events as being impossible, unlikely, equally likely as unlikely, likely, or certain.
• More specifically, we can assign a value to the probability of an event occurring on a scale of to 1, or to , where an impossible event has chance of happening, and a certain event has a chance of happening.
• We can find the theoretical probability that a simple, single event will occur using the following formula. The ratio is usually converted to a percent.

• Some single events involve more than one simple outcome, such as “or” situations.
• For example, getting a jack or a queen from one pick out of a standard deck is made up of disjoint events. They cannot occur at the same time, but one or the other could occur. The probability of such an event is found by calculating the sum of the individual probabilities: .
• Another event that may involve more than one simple outcome is one with overlapping events, such as getting a jack or a red card from one pick out of a standard deck. These events are overlapping because both can occur at the same time; there are two red jacks in a deck. To avoid counting these cards twice, we calculate the probability by finding the sum of the individual probabilities, and then subtracting the probability that both events occur at once: .
• Some events involve more than one thing happening at a time, like rolling two dice at a time, instead of one. In these cases, it’s helpful to create a sample space, so that you can identify all the possible outcomes and use that information to calculate probabilities.

Those are my notes. Are they good notes or not. o.o

Answer 18

That's a wonderful start. You will be filling in as you go. For point two, that should probably be scale of 0 to 1. Looks like the "0" was left out.

Answer 19

Oh.. thanks<3 I'll be sure to add it in later. :P

Answer 20

You'll do fine. You look like a good student, a nice person, and a hard worker! Nice combination!

Answer 21

c: Mk.. Thanks:D
