Has iron grinding makes perfect. That statement is true for math. And that's also why you have to do a ton of boring homework! Many people learn math by memorizing formulas and equations the same way they remember dates and events. While memorizing is also important, practice is the best way to learn math. Learn early, do your homework and ask your teacher for help when something goes wrong. Avoid cramming, try not to get too tense and ensure a good accommodation right before entering the check in.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Prepare for the test

1. 

   Take a look at your notes. After class, you should spend 15 to 20 minutes reviewing the lesson. As the exam day approaches, review the entire article or chapter more closely. Focus on the sample problem presented in class: they will help you understand why a formula or redo is correct. Borrow your classmate's notebook if you aren't taking notes.

2. 

   
   
   Solve exercises that are similar to the one you were given home. Suppose your teacher has assigned the odd problem to go home because there are answers for even questions after the book. Solve those even questions, then check the answers to see what your strengths and weaknesses are.
   • Ask the teacher the curriculum website. In many cases, the syllabus website includes additional questions and documentation.

3. 

   
   
   Join a study group. Each person will have a different perspective. A problem that confuses you can be simple for another. If you have a problem that makes the group difficult, you can ask your teacher for help.
   • Each week, you can meet face to face, talk on the phone or chat online once or twice.

4. 

   
   
   Ask someone to do your homework. If you join a study group, you can create a proposal and change the practice for each other. Ask someone in the house or class to do revision problems together. If the course has its own website, check to see if you can download the mock tests.
   • Limit the time when taking mock tests so that everything looks like a real test.

5. 

   Reward yourself for your hard work. After a few hours of intense study, you deserve a break! Find ways to reward yourself to motivate yourself.
   • For example, you can enjoy a candy bar, ride a car around, play a game for 20 minutes or choose any other kind of light exercise that you like.

6. 

   Eat well right before the test date. Try not to get nervous as the test day approaches. Get a good night's sleep the night before. Have a good breakfast and if the test takes place in the afternoon, enjoy a delicious lunch.
   • Try a healthy snack like almonds. It will energize your brain before the test.

Method 2 of 3: Go to class

1. Attend class every day. Attending school regularly is essential to being able to do well.

2. 

   Focus. The hardest part is getting to class. So, once in class, listen and pay attention to the lecture. The key here is to look at how teachers solve problems on the board: due to the nature of solving equations and solving math problems, this subject often requires more observations than other subjects.
   • Take good notes. Record all sample problems solved in class. Later, when you review it, you will feel better with the lessons the teacher has taught and not depending on the curriculum.

3. 

   Ask the teacher any questions you have before the test date. Your teacher may not say specifically what the exam is about, but they will most likely give you helpful guidance when you don't understand it. Asking questions about issues that are troubling you also helps teachers see you care and want to do well.
   • Review your notes every night after class. Check off any questions you have and turn to your teacher for more instruction.

4. 

   Read the article. Make sure you read the entire assigned content instead of just reading the example. Textbooks often include proof of formulas to help you understand the lesson more thoroughly. In addition, by doing so, you will be better prepared for each lesson, so that you can participate in the lecture actively.
   • Active participation, raising hands, and asking questions will help you improve your score later on.

Method 3 of 3: Study every day

1. 

   Start learning as soon as possible. Begin preparing for the test from day one. Every night after school, you will need to check the notes from the class. Cramming right before the exam will only overwhelm you.
   • When you give yourself time to study gradually, you will be able to understand the lesson better. In addition, you can identify your own weaknesses and ask for help if needed.

2. 

   Do homework. During most sessions, the teacher assigns or at least suggests the exercises they find most useful. The test is often similar to homework. So doing homework every day is like doing exam every day.
   • If the book has the answer, you should only use it to check your answer. Try not to look at the solution before you are done!
   • Do all your homework, and keep your problems for review as the test day approaches. Absolutely do not copy other people's homework.

3. 

   Find out why the formulas are correct. It is often more useful to understand how a formula is formed than simply memorizing it. Remember is not a bad first step, but understanding why the formula works by doing lots of exercises increases your chances of conquering the test more easily.
   • For example, you can simply remember that the sum of the inner angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees. However, if you really feel the formula, you can use it to solve other problems, such as finding the unknown angle of a hexagon.

Advice

• When taking the test, you will be limited in terms of time. Therefore, you should start with the easier exercises and work on the difficult exercises last.
• As soon as there is a problem, if you think you will forget it, write lots of formulas and equations on the back of the problem or some blank sheet of paper.
• Don't waste time erasing when something goes wrong. To save time, cross out anything that you don't want your teacher to read. Of course, each person will have a different way of doing.
• When entering the test, you should work from the highest score to the lesson with the lowest score.
• Try to stay calm at all costs, from being overly excited and afraid. Always check your homework.
• Don't study the day before the test: this can be very stressful. Instead, you should go through the formula and key questions.
• Math can be difficult, but if you focus in class and do your homework until you understand, you will succeed. Do not rush. Take it easy, because there may be trick questions.
• Exercise every day.
• Don't panic before the test date. Instead, take a deep breath and think positively like, "I'll do my best and get good grades." It will help you to be positive while doing your homework.
