Extra effort will be needed to get through math.
Because math takes a considerable amount of disciple and practice, many students consider it a difficult subject. However, there are some techniques that can make learning and passing math easier.
Instructions
1. Listen attentively and take notes in class. List the step-by-step procedures your professor uses to solve problems, so you can review the whole process later. If there are concepts that you do not understand, ask your teacher to repeat them.
2. Rewrite your notes in an organized manner and highlight any important principles covered in class. When the lessons are fast paced, it can be easy to take sloppy notes. Use what you highlighted to create a summary sheet of important principles, theorems and equations to use when you study.
3. Practice! Concepts are better retained when they are applied. That's what homework is for. It gives you a chance to use what you have learned in the classroom. If you don't bother to do your homework, your grades won't be the only thing affected. Don't limit yourself to what your teacher gives you. More often than not, there will be additional exercises in your textbook that you can solve.
4. Study after class. Most students won't be able to get through math just by listening during class hours. Take a proactive approach to learning and hit the books as soon as you get home from school. Find a quiet place -- without a computer or television -- where you can review your notes without distractions. Review your lessons a little each day so you won't find yourself cramming the day before your examination.
5. Make use of the additional resources available in your school. Your school might offer additional classes for students who wish to learn more about a certain topic or who wish to seek extra help. Aside from teaching you additional concepts, these classes may also give you hints and techniques to help you during your exams.
