I hate math just because of how complicated and confusing it is. I have a math exam tomorrow and there is a lot to know. Its on Logarithms and Rational Expressions. It there any trick to learning this math. Any tips you can give me would be great.

Well... hating math will not make you pass the exam... the best thing to do is to practice... and to ask a friend or someone in your class who is good at it to help you out... or tutor you... most of the time... peer teaching would really help rather than just listening to the teacher... And the best way is to have a positive attitude towards the subject... it will surely help you clear your mind of all the negativity...

True , i know hating it won't help. I have studied for hours now , hopefully i will know enough. I asked one of my friends to help me out , so that helped a bit.

I hope someone can come up with a secret for you but i know i was never good at maths either, I found if you are a person with a good memory then you have no trouble with it but if you have a really bad memory like me and I have never had one then maths is just impossible, good luck I hope someone can help you....

In class i learn this stuff , but then a week later i forget! There is just way to many rules that you have to follow. Its my worse subject.

I might have an idea for a few ways for me to understand it , but its a little to late. Hopefully i can do alright on the exam. If someone was able to show me the steps that would be good and some rules.

the easiest way to remeber logarithms is just practice a bunch of em. Since its sort of a new concept just practice any possible type of question over and over again. If u dont feel like wasting time u could try teaching it to yourself looking at your notes and just cram for your test. As for ratioal expression i really dont know what u would get tested on but there is only so much. As for logarithms if its graphs just memorize the graphs. Application could be the trickiest things like pH scales and exponential growth just have to be practiced. If you dont get something in math practice if u dont, but if youre lucky enough to get it the first time, u should still look it over so as not to forget.
