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?

Ah, is the exam only on trigonometry (sine, cosine, tangent)?

general maths… I have made a trig calculator in Javascript etc xD but I'm terrible at maths in general

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:

I've been Doing past papers today (Ok 1 past paper) but I've done it twice in a row to try and get better at maths… I seem to click really easily once I have the jist of it

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.

Prepping for it now, ran through some BBC bitesize stuff (Which I found a mistake in).

The exam went horribly.

Welcome to my boat.

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.

What job do you have? I've never known a job where you have to do maths tests.

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

I failed the test by like 2 marks

ouch lol, i love maths :)

I don't know if yous still need help but if you got an old math textbook with problem sets watched through khan academy videos on youtube you could probably learn most of that math both theoretically and in terms of doing problems.
