I'm about to take my third algebra proctored exam. I've done well with the practice test, so we'll see if I can manage to get another 100.
I think you will do great. Is this your last math class?
My first, last, and only math class, I think. Higher math isn't exactly a priority for Heath Information Technology.
I got 100 again, so I'm 3 for 3 on the proctored exams. It's actually the quizzes, where I can use outside resources, that I've had a few scores below 100.
I'm really weird with math. While I seem to have difficulty with simple math, I can do more complicated math. I still have to think about it when adding and subtracting (if it's larger numbers), but I can do algebra, and I actually LIKED it, believe it or not. It seemed more like a game than math for me. I even remember the PEMDAS order for algebra equations. What I hate and my biggest math weakness is word problems. I start to panic whenever I see any word problem, unless it is super simple.
I did all the simple math's like arithmetic and fractions without any trouble. I could also understand transposition of formulas in electronics. But I could never get a handle on algebra. I passed my city and guilds exam but did not do two equations. I passed on a percentage mark. because I got all the other math's problems right.
I found the idea that a letter represents an unknown number too confusing.
She would squeeze my cheeks and look me in the eye and say, "you're a baby!" Lol! Funny now, but back then not so much. She was kind of abusive actually.
