im trying to review for an entrance exam
hell yeah if u need them
very hard but if you nolife it may be possible (but very unhealthy)
pre-alg, alg and trig are the main goals here imo
they're all kinda a package deal
If you know some of concepts already, it's possible.
well yeah if some of these have been covered then depends on how much has already
if pre-alg and alg have been mastered then the other three can comfortably come in a month and a half
these have been discussed from 7-10th grade
maybe a bit more
like 2.5-3 months could be minimum
😢
actually before that let's address the elephant in the room
how much have you already covered?
surely you have something here?
none
none?
sure?
yeah
waitt
that's complex then
Then it's gonna be like 6-7 months
hm?
like ik all of these but ion fully rmb everything
like these hace been discussed from 7th to 10th gradr n im currently kn 10th gradr
ok hold up
...
what can you fully remember?
like, can you circle some of the topics that you are sure you have no problems with?
so that we can gauge your progress
other than stats?
what about anything in pre-alg and alg?
those are the big deal
we did discuss other than these three but i forgot
were also discussed but dont rember
Like linear algebra too?
oh goodness...
i frogot
do you at least know variables and equation solving stuff?
um let's not bring linalg into here?
that's a whole other field
I do
so you do know some stuff
atleast u know some
I mean basic alg sorry
but without a full evaluation of what you know it's hard to say
ok here's my verdict
I will assume you know about 20% of the topics in alg and pre-alg completely, and maybe another 20-30% somewhat
yeah no if i were to take the exam today id only be able to asnwer quatile, dectile & percen
in that case, a month and a half is very hard
half things you already have done in your school
Yeah hard
all ngl
then whats the issue
but those were years ago
like even if you burn the midnight oil to do it you'll still have a very difficult time
what entrance exam btw
plus poor retention probably
Why do you have haikyuu and hunter x hunter under trigo
It may take 3.5 - 4 months then
Senior high school entrance exam (stem)
i got bored
Haven't noticed tho
Idk
Well will questions be like very deep from this topics? because most topics are easy you can complete each of these in 1 days, apart from harder topics like calculus, trignometry I think 3 months is more than enough
Not to mention it will not stick for long
didn't I mention retention under that message
oh it's buried down here I see
Idk havent read that far yet lol
but still, all the best. respect your effort even though it's kinda rushed
some won't even bother
Tbh
It mighr not even matter for the person
Like if math does not concern him
her*
And he just need the grade
red diamond there
you said him
anyway
but how is she gonna get the grade if, you know, she doesn't know the math
she at least has to know the math until after the exam even if the grades is all she wants
I know it doesn't matter if it doesn't stick long term
but I am referring to even short term retention
because studying too fast leads to memorization of rules and stuff, and one curveball question later...
I told her in the other chat
That she should like go through them over and over again
oh there's another thread ongoing hm
And each iteration deeper into a topic
well that will depend on how she fares on the earlier topics first
I will reserve my opinions on that though
Curveball question?
if you memorize formulas and stuff and didn't learn to think about those formulas, sooner or later you're gonna find a question that requires you to rearrange or use the formula in an unorthodox manner
or, you get a question where you need to combine multiple formulae without prior warning or a step-by-step question breakdown
that kind of question
Oh i see what you mean
now, if you think OP can handle that with rote memorization, I respect your opinion, but I maintain my stance as a bit of a heads-up for OP
but OP just said she barely does
In harder questions you have to know the logic behind the formulas to build similar ones
I'm working on information I have personally seen in this thread
of course, to us, we may be used to rearranging and applying multistep formulas
Do you think on the exam each topic will have equal amount of problems
well of course not. but algebra is a big part of trig and a bit of stats as well. maybe not descriptive stats but eh
Yeah
again, my communication is primarily aimed at what I have learnt about OP
I mean they should put more on algebra if anything
it's not about what I presume OP knows or doesn't know, and it's not about how many questions are about each subtopic
Yeah rip
tgese were all the topics that were exaclty discussed
i know all of these ofc i have an overview but can't avoid forgetting stuff
thats why im revising
rewivng
