floridadiver81 0 #1 December 17, 2007 and would you believe..my strongest subject in middle and high school was my weakest today. I blew reading comprehension out of the water and cut a really good score in the english...but i lacked in MATH! I never had a score lower than a 94% in any kind of math test! The good thing about it..i can pay 17 dollars and retake just that portion of the test and score above what i need to go right into college algebra. It just sucks though...but at least im finally going back to school. Im getting my associates in arts at the local community college then transferring to the University on North Florida to attain my Bachelor's in Information Systems with a focus in Information Security.

grannyinthesky 0 #4 December 18, 2007 Try finding a used Intermediate Algebra book at a used bookstore and doing any end of chapter tests. That will help you focus on the areas you need to work on. I teach math at a community college, so if you get stuck and need a little help, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Pat"safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!
