<p>The time to edit is over, but when I said 4.0 in highschool I meant 4.0 in community college… oh and how does having a job on the side really effect your GPA? It sounds like I’m going to need to have one to finance everything…</p>
<p>grade buffers are quite nice; towards the end of the semester, i was able to calculate what i needed to get on the final to get a 4 in the class; last semester i only had to get a 10, a 69, 78, and a 55; the 55 was my hardest final, yet i got a B; 78 was the next hardest (i actually managed to beat the cutoff as my final grade was 90.01) there is a lot of confidence going into the finals, and i was able to study my subjects without halfassing or subdividing between them.</p>
<p>I took Statistics back when I was a psychology major. This applies to any math class, but do as many problems as you possibly can. Its not enough to merely memorize the formulas and think you can apply them on the exam and get an A. It doesn’t work that way, and you will fail the class if that’s all you do. Understand the formulas, know when to use them, and do as many problems as time allows. Work through your textbook, then get more books and do more problems. </p>
<p>I used this strategy. Studied just for that class about 4 hours a day, every single day, and I never got below 95% on any exams.</p>
<p>Yeah, Im normally pretty good at understanding where the equation comes from. I get more out of deriving it myself than memorizing it, and it takes less time. </p>
