How will I handle math courses as an adult?

Mathematics is a sequential discipline, taught in order of difficulty and process, leading students from one level to the next. Where you begin the sequence as an adult learner is the key.
“I think the best thing that returning adult students can do in preparation for taking a math class is to get good advice about what course level they should be placed at,” says David Weinstein, a college and university professor with nearly 30 years of classroom experience.
As is the case with English studies, do not be disheartened with low proficiency test scores or placement in a remedial course.
“It is better to underestimate one’s own abilities and take a course that is partially review in nature rather than overestimating one’s own abilities and getting blown away by the material,” Weinstein advises.
Schools frequently provide free math tutoring through learning resource centers. The centers usually have a collection of instructional media and offer guidance in their usage. Some centers hold seminars on topics such as math anxiety and test-taking strategies.
