Test Math is Straightforward
Most tests you take in your average math class are straightforward and obvious. As long as you’ve studied the concepts, you know what to do when you encounter a problem. You know what to expect.
On the Test, however, even great math students may not know where to begin. Even if you know all the concepts, you won’t always know which ones to apply and how. To answer the tough questions, you need a combination of experience and a willingness to try things out.
