Ugg. My worst fear about school happened. I went to see my advisor to apply for graduation and confirmed I need to take another Algebra class. But before I can get into that class, I have to take a test. The thought of having to take the class was hard enough but now I find out I have to take a test to get into the class and I am panicking. I can do the basics and I review every few years (homeschooling) so I don't know why the thought of a math test is freaking me out so much.
What is the one

Just remember... you're a grown-up now and the rest of your life does not hinge upon a math class (which is how I felt when I was younger).
In your shoes, I'd take the test and see how I did. If I was very deficient in certain areas, I'd get tutoring in those areas.
I agree w/ kel--find the area where you need help and attack that. Think of it as a fitness test and you want to find where you're weakest.
Ok, don't hate me, but I LOVE math.
Okay I took a blind practice test and didn't do nearly as bad as I thought. My score wasn't great but it was high enough to get me into the class I need. After years of homeschooling I have actually learned something I think.
Tutoring is available so I may take advantage of it. I don't have to take the class until fall so I may spend some time reviewing and studying and see what happens.
Ugg. I don't know why I am so intimidated by this stuff. It's just numbers-right? lol

AWESOME!
I always did well in math but it has been 30 years since I took a math class and the thought of it was making me physically sick. I went ahead and took a blind practice test to see where I am at right now and didn't do as bad as I thought.
Funny you should mention art-my husband is an incredible portrait artist. He's tried to teach me so many times to draw a face and I just can't. He keeps telling me just draw what you see and I'll argue I am trying. For some reason my brain just won't let my hands connect the dots the way they need to be

Love is definitely not my feelings towards math. lol I think it's more a mental challenge for me than anything. I'm not sure why I am so intimidated by it.
Now an English Lit test-bring it on! LOL
