Sophia Fun is almost over

For those that are math and stats uncomfortable. My advice is start with getting a good scientific graphing calculator, and read the manual! Lots of the manual will not make a bunch of sense because you don't know the concepts yet but will happen is by reading the manual before starting the course, you will be able to recall at the worst where you can go to find out how to do something. That and YouTube are great.

I also recommend you do algebra first, then stats.

I'm pretty good with math in life and business, but it's been 34 years since my last math class in high school that I failed ? (had other stuff I cared about more) and literally wanted to give up when I started stats first(mistake). I stopped after about 10hrs of pain and grabbed my teens calculator and manual and learned it for another 10 hrs and went back at stats and managed to do a 88 on Sophia in about 30 more hours of moderate level pain. Took a couple days to chill and started algebra with Sophia and knowing the calculator managed a 92 in about 17 hrs on the course. If anything it was more data entry and the quizzes and questions I got wrong were mostly user error on the data entry..

That is my advice, and I am very glad to have those two behind me, as you will be as well. It's also proven helpful in some of my business courses to do stuff more efficiently than the normal much longer way I have been doing stuff in many cases. I have already ordered my own scientific calculator to have on my desk at work as well.
