Good news: Stats stands between me and a degree.
Bad news: I'm freaking out about my complete lack of knowledge regarding this subject while needing to pass it within 3 weeks. If not, I face a $500 annual renewal fee from Excelsior because my anniversary date is approaching and I need to have all requirements (stats) completed within 3weeks to avoid paying for another year!!:mad:
I have read through every thread on the subject and I'm left with the following questions:
1) Do you need to memorize all of the formulas/symbols or just simply know how to solve the problems without knowing the formulas? In other words, will the exam ask you to solve a problem by simply showing you a formula or do they spell out what they want solved (if that makes sense)?
2) Also, I have no idea how to use or incorporate the TI36X calculator that I just purchased. All of the buttons look completely foreign and look nothing like the symbols used in the formulas (keep in mind that I have not read the calculator instructions yet...hopefully that will do the trick). Did you all go through all of the material before figuring out how to use your calculator to solve problems or as you went along?
3) I will be using IC and the Dummies workbook. I have pretty much used IC exclusively for all my other exams w/o any other supplemental materials and have scored great. I really dread the thought of going through that entire workbook, in addition to IC, considering the time cruch that I'm in:mad:
I no nothing about this subject and have no idea how to even approach it or the use of the calculator. I have tried for As on every exam that I have taken. I would be more then happy with a 48 (pass) on this hideous thing! Kind of obvious why I left this one for last isn't it?:confused:
