Basically the school I want to get into wants 2 semesters of calc. I'm stuck at intermediate algebra. Actually, it surprised me that I placed into that.

This is my question. I have this summer to prep for algebra. What are key skills that I MUST know to succeed in this?

Thanks.

To prep for algebra, take a pre-algebra course. ;)
 
That'd be great, but I am not able to enroll for the summer semester. I'd think I can get a head start on it independently though, no? :cool:
 
There is a website called mathcentre.ac.uk and you do not need a login to get the PDF's that are really quite informative and include some practice questions. I am trying to get in to calculus now -but it is quite difficult! The peeps here have been really helpful though.
Good luck with your studies
 
Thanks, I'm sure people can be helpful even though my question was kind of vague. I know I am going to have to know graphing and that's kind of what I was looking for, something to focus on. Btw, love your screen name. Mine stands for horrible at math.
 
Try working through the video lessons for algebra at the Khan Academy website (you can find this on Google....and I am not joking).
