i dont know about all of you but i hate calculus and i have a huge calculus final on teusday to finish off my freshman yr at college. how do i cope with this horrible monstrosity? anyone have any experience with this? :cursing:

Just redo the homework a few days before the test, best way of studying. Limits mixed with the trigonometry functions were the hardest thing for me.

My college way was on social studies but I know one thing - whatever you do have a nice sleep before the test. Also give yourself at least 6 hours of relaxing before you go to bed.

If you think first year is bad
Wait till you get to 2nd & 3rd year if you are in a technical field.

good luck:D

Sure, lots. Unfortunately, if your exam is this Tuesday and calculus still isn't intuitive to you, it might be too late. My only advice is that you solve as many problems as you can. A study guide with worked problems should also be helpful. I also agree with Leobor's advice: Don't overdo it the day before the exam.

Try to get a group of people together tonight to study for a few hours, but don't study past 10PM, you'll just be burned out. Before the test, do a quick once over of all your notes. Also, go in CONFIDENT, being confident really helps you through rough sitautions where you have a guess. If you go in thinking you're going to bomb, you'll shut down the minute you see something you don't immediatly remember.

thanks for all the help guys i really appreciate it!

All the best Mettalican.. Keep up that confidence! I hope you do well tomorrow !

So how did the calculus test go? I hope the forum's moral support helped a little at least!

yes u guys helped my morale for sure! i ended up getting a C+ in the course, which isnt bad considering i was afraid i was going to fail haha!
