  • Is the entire series about math? Watching your video in Study Skills

  • @HawktorisAwesome

    Yes. I was a math teacher at the time so it's a math-themed series. However, many of the strategies can be used with different subjects.

  • isn't this 'Trial and Error'?

  • I suppose it's similar. Technically, you are checking and guessing with the limited options given as answer choices. When I think of using 'trial and error,' I think of an open ended problem that requires a lot of guessing and checking because you don't necessarily know where each move will take you. With multiple choice tests, you are given 4 or 5 potential 'answers' with which to work backwards. It may just be semantics at this point. Thanks for the comment!

  • thanx for your help

    ooooo and that was funny at the end

  • Thank you for the reply. I'm glad that the video is helping you! We still have a few more left to create.

see all

  • Strategy #10 is missing???

  • @pauldevoto are all of the episodes host's math teachers?

  • Are you also going to talk about taking a normal multiple choice test in Europe algebra is never multiple choice. Biology is, and it's a burden.
