Hi, I'm getting ready to take my placement exam in Mathematics so I can take my beginning nursing classes... I am not naturally good at chem/math so I'm having quite a bit of trouble studying and retaining information. Does anyone have any tips for studying?

flash cards worked well for me
studied the formulas for chemistry so much I could recite them in my sleep
one hour every day

For math, I suggest doing as many practice problems as you can. Then it becomes second nature.

For chemistry, in addition to flash cards, I like coming up with pairings that make it easier to remember or acronyms.

Thanks so much! I didn't even know that math cards existed! I also feel lucky that my father-in-law is a biochemist, so maybe he can help me as well.
