need math refresher course HELP!

[keke27]

Well, I have done the research on nursing schools in my area. I now need to pass a test to get into a community college to take the prerequisite courses.

I have a major problem with math. I didnt take all the classes I should have when I was in high school. I could kick myself. If anyone knows of any good websites for algebra and so forth please let me know. I am becoming so discouraged because math has always been my weakness . I'm just going to study, study, study until I get it. So any info you can give will be a tremendous help.

Thanks Nurse WannaBe:crying2:

Hey Keke !!

Read Barron's "Math the Easy Way." It covers all math topics and explains everything clearly.

I'm a "math-anxious" student too, and am taking Chemistry right now. From the tips that I got in this site, they all advised to keep on solving problems. Math is a subject that you learn by doing, not just by memorizing.

Good luck !!

www.purplemath.com is an excellent algebra site. You can search for specific things that you are having problems with also.

just remember they are expecting high school level only. I did not even have algebra before I took that test, but I passed because of the logic questions asked. Even the Math for Med's books teach some algebra.
