4 TIPS THAT VIRTUALLY GUARANTEE A SUCCESSFUL MATH EXPERIENCE…….. Before , not after . Reading the section and attempting the assignments before the ideas are covered in class is the secret to math. Know what might be sticky…..before you get to class! Now , not then . Don’t wait until you’re really lost to get help. See the instructor or a tutor right away. All , not some. You have to be a maniac about math homework. Do all the assigned problems…and more. Sooner , not later . No matter how well you understand things in class, waiting too long to practice with the material can get yourself confused. Stay up to date with your work, on every date. Mathematics is like playing the piano. It is virtually impossible for even the best player to look at a specific piece of sheet music and perform it flawlessly on the first attempt. Similarly, an exam is the worst time attempt a specific type of problem for the first time. Both jobs – playing the piano well and doing mathematics well – have necessary ‘practice’ time, and by practicing well, top-notch performances are far more likely. Exams, then, can be your showcases – your concerts – when you are given a chance to exhibit what you’ve mastered. Like a concert, a test should be positive, rewarding event.
