Fuck me inside out, I have to take an assessment test for school

[graywarrior]

I will flunk math like no one has ever flunked math ever ever ever.

[texanwitch]

1. I have a math test coming up but I like math.

I found my old jc math book and have been reviewing my math.

There are some good math websites, some of them have math games.

My test is in September, I want to pass the first time.

I am not looking forward to taking the test.

[Call Me Wesley]

2. No worries, I got you all the results:

See, pretty easy!

[graywarrior]

4. I wish I could take it that way.

This is on computers, multiple choice. I haven't done math since 8th grade.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

7. Multiple choice makes it easier for you

Will you be able to get some study guides to help you prepare?

[graywarrior]

29. I'm online trying to cram before the big test...lol.

[Call Me Wesley]

8. If you have the option of 'Not sure.'

Just click it always, then you get 50-50 and pass. ;)

Multiple choice on computers ... Why wasn't this around when I graduated? We had a notebook and a pen ...

[graywarrior]

28. It's like a lerner's permit test!

[suninvited]

10. Find x

[graywarrior]

5. I'll pay you to take it for me.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

9. I'd do it for you for free Gray

but you're fucking smart enough to kick the shit out of this test.

:yourock:

[graywarrior]

15. Not algebra

[LeftyFingerPop]

6. Do you know what type of math will be on the test?

[Call Me Wesley]

11. Probably really, really unsolveable ...

I feel bad for her already ...

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. Best laugh I've had today!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I love it!!!

[Call Me Wesley]

14. I aim to please.

Just let me know the result after you solved it, okiedokie? :hi:

[graywarrior]

18. OMG, that is effin awesome!

22. Get yourself a grahping calculator and program man.

Just sayin.

[graywarrior]

27. Can't use a calc while testing

I'm gonna write cheat sheet on my arm...lol. Not really, but knowing that I think of that shit tells me who I am.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

30. that fucking sucks man.

What kind of shit is that???

[graywarrior]

32. I'd ace it if I could use one

God, next thing they'll require is that I count change back from a $10. Bastids.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

34. You shit!

you just made me spray water out of my nose! :spank:

[graywarrior]

36. Hey, one time my boss burst into laughter coz he caught me counting on my fingers

I'll never live that one down.

[LeftyFingerPop]

23. OK Gray....next question....

Have you already been accepted and this is just a test to assess your abilities, or does this test have something to do with being accepted?

[graywarrior]

25. I'm applying tomorrow.

It is just to see if I need to take the required math courses. I've avoided going back to school all this time coz I didn't want to see how bad I am at math.

[LeftyFingerPop]

26. When exactly do you need to take the test?

[graywarrior]

31. If I want financial assistance, before 7/31

Can't go to school without assistance.

[LeftyFingerPop]

33. Let's say you got a total zero on the math portion...

would that prevent them from accepting you, or would they just require you to take math classes?

Also, we can discuss this later maybe...there are ways to prepare before the 31st.

[graywarrior]

35. They'd require a math class

No big deal, cept my pride.

[LeftyFingerPop]

37. Not to worry then!

Take the test, assess your skills honestly, take the math classes, and go from there.

Many many adults lose their math skills over time...happens to the best of us.

As Mr. Dylan says..."Swallow your pride. It will not hurt you. It is not poison".

[graywarrior]

38. Dylan also said "Trust yourself"

My pride is a bitch.

[LeftyFingerPop]

39. If I were in your shoes, I would do this...

I'm assuming that your math skills are really bad because it has been such a long time since you took a math class?

One option would to be to have someone good at math sitting next to you on your PC while you take your test. However, this does not really accomplish much, since you are cheating yourself and it may hurt you pretty badly in some classes that you need to take down the road that require the use of math.

However, I do understand the "pride" issue completely.

Over the next few days, see if you can contact a Junior High or High School math teacher that wants to make a few bucks to tutor you for say, 8 hours. If you cannot afford to pay the teacher, see if you can work out some kind of trade.

Explain your situation to them. See if they will sit with you . Have them start with a very basic math refresher, and gradually work up to some simple algebra problems over the next 8 hours.

While this will not enable you to ace the math portion, it will help the "pride" issue by enabling you to do at least reasonably well.

Honestly, if I lived near you, I would help you out with this for free. Please consider doing this Gray, if you can.

[graywarrior]

40. Since I have many things to do to get ready for school, like still apply for aid

meet with a career counselor, meet with unemployment, attend several meetings, I will have to do this on my own by going online and trying to memorize stuff. I have two samples of the test that are on line, both of them have similar questions, so I will try and figure out the calculations to those and then just do my best.

I know you'd help if you could and I really really appreciate that. But I will let you know how I do. I think I may wait til Wed which will give me tomight, tomorrow and tomorrow night to practice.

[LeftyFingerPop]

43. Sounds like a good plan...

good luck!

[graywarrior]

46. Thankee.

I'm looking at youtube lessons in fractions....dear god.

[BuelahWitch]

44. He is totally right

As a math-hating person myself, I will not make a snide remark about the fact how scary it is that LeftyFingerPop is the voice of reason in this thread. :hide:
:hug:

[HopeHoops]

12. Smoke some good weed - you'll do fine.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude in Mathematics and I was stoned all to Jesus for all four years I was in college.

[taterguy]

17. In my dreams, darlin, in my dreams

Inside
Outside
Anyway you want it

Obviously.

[graywarrior]

21. Squee!

[derby378]

19. Your OP title frightens and confuses me

:scared:

[graywarrior]

20. I'm harmless

[MajorChode]

24. Just remember that math is far from an exact science

So who is to say what is right or wrong?

If the questions are multiple choice, don't be afraid to pencil in your own answers as such shows creative thinking outside the box skills.

[old mark]

41. I took a math assessment about 18 years ago to go back to college.

They told me I had no math ability at all, which strangely made me feel better. I eventually took a college math course for people who would have no ned for math ever again. Passed with a D, my lowest grade ever.

[Taverner]

45. Math is like abstinence - once you get out of practice you're screwed

Thank ya thank ya...I'll be here all week

[hippywife]

47. Maybe the assessment will be

that you really do need school :rofl:

I hope you do well and are accepted. :hug:
