<p>I am currently studying for the AP physics b exam coming up. I find that i have the most trouble with getting through the multiple choice in time because i am slow at doing the non-calculator math. I know that this math should not require a calculator but i happen to suck at stupid math. I can obviously do like 4/2 and 10^2, but when the numbers arent so nice i have trouble. Does anyone have any tips or resources that will help with the basic math skills needed for the multiple choice part of this test.</p>
<p>I’m taking Physics B too.
The way I do with numbers is try to simplify everything before multiplying
If its in a decimal form, changing it into a factor form may help (for example there was this question where the answer was (1/1.5)^2 change it into factor form. 1.5 = 3/2, so 1/1.5 = 2/3, so 4/9)</p>
<p>what about with scientific notation things</p>
<p>do the numbers in front of the tenth powers first, and calculate the tenth powers separately, then add or subtract if necessary. sry for the late post</p>
