    Default Re-learning

    Hey all,

    Finished school about 1year and a half ago. Got a maths exam at work... I don't remember ANYTHING about it.

    I never got taught sin tan etc, My schools math education was shocking. I'm surprised I can count.

    Any help?

    Start going over levels of math you need refreshers on, and I'll start helping. What about basic math (factorials, exponents, long division), Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus (I assume that's either the highest you consider general maths, or it's higher than the highest)?

    I suppose that's general maths all over, any good places to re-learn? ^^

    I don't think I would do a good job at explaining it, so here's a link to a good explanation:

    Not really, Our head of education doesn't have qualifications in teaching etc. He's just a randomer tbh.


    Got my exam in less than 3 hours.

    Is this exam essential to your job? Like will you loose it if you fail?

    No, but it's expected I pass. I haven't really had much support is all.

    I work in a office, a lot of jobs require you to take extra tests and whatnot. It's part of life
