Think: “How can I relate this to my everyday life?”
Read for a purpose. Study for understanding,

GENERAL RULES & TIPS:
OVERCOMING MATH & SCIENCE ANXIETY:
“Many people believe mathematics and sciences can be conquered only by certain kinds of people. This myth destroys potential, provides excuses
and limits our possibilities. What is required is persistence and patience.”
– Boise State University
Five suggestions for overcoming math/science anxiety:
Do not confine yourself to exact answers or processes
Do not use self-defeating talk
Do not run away from your intuition
Do not consider you questions dumb
Do not run away from math/science frustrations
Use Khan Academy for more help and practice!
