Practice anything you're not sure of.  That's one way of building confidence in your ability to solve problems, use the calculator, and so on.

You could double check some types of answers by going online.  For example, go to wolframalpha (as satellite73 has already directed you) and type in sin 34.  If the answer you get from that source matches the answer you got from your calculator, you know you're certainly on the right track.
