Practice Makes Perfect

Learning math takes practice, lots of practice.  Just like running, it takes practice and dedication.    If you want to be really good at all types of math, you need to practice them all. You can't trust your innate natural talent to do most of the job for you.  There’s no such thing as math genes!



You must have heard this before, so let’s just do it.  Sign into Symbolab interactive practice (free of charge) and start practicing, it’s that simple (currently available for integrals and derivatives).

Practice:



Each subject is broken down into topics.   The topics are ordered by difficulty level (You can select a new topic any time).  Next to the topic we keep track of the number of problems you answered correctly.   We recommend completing at least 5 problems before moving to the next topic.   Start solving one by one.  If you need help click Next Hint (it will show you how many hints are still available).  When ready type in your answer, click Verify.  You should get instant indication if your answer is correct



If your answer is incorrect try again, ask for more hints.  Take your time, it’s meant for you to learn.


The Quiz:


At any time, you can test yourself by taking a quiz.  Simply select Quiz from the menu (there’s a quiz at the end of each level), click Start Quiz and go.  No hints this time, you will get your test summary at the end.

When to start? Now is as good a time as any…

Cheers,
