I took college math today and got a 65. I only had about 90 seconds left when I finished. That was a toughie. Functions, functions and more functions.
I hate functions.

It's always nice to get those math tests out of the way! Then again -- you must like SOME sort of numbers if you're majoring in accounting.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Accounting is less about numbers and more about concepts, not any kind of advanced math.

Congratulations.[/SIZE]
know all you can about functions. know the formulas for permutations and compound probabilities. read all the questions twice. alot of the time that will get rid of 2 or 3 possible answers. Good Luck

I'm doing the Penn Foster Math and I don't recommend it. If I'd known how hard it was, the hardest class I've ever had, I would have done a bricks and mortar class. I'm just at the halfway point and it's taken two months. I haven't had any Math in over 30 years. If that's you, don't take this course.
Just thought you might like to know one person's Math experience. :eek:
