It was beneficial! Not only does this prepare you for the placement test, but it prepares you for mathematics as a subject in general. This is the best maths course money can buy. I was initially skeptical, but I am glad I tried it. I got 68/75 for my maths placement score.

I have completed and passed the NYSTCE Grades 1-6 Math 222 test. I have also completed the Birth - 2 Math examination, and am awaiting those scores. The MathHelp.com course I feel prepared me for both examinations. Thank you! As for elements of the course that were helpful were that the videos for each lesson were broken down into different steps, rather than one long video for each lesson. Having different sections made it easier to start and stop as I needed and skip when necessary. Having lessons within a unit be separated was a great layout. I also thought the side bar with links to the earlier videos were helpful to remind yourself of some other concept. It was helpful that there were both practice questions and quiz questions. I have recommended this website to my friends who also need to take the Math CST exams!

I am a 50+ who decided to go back to school late in life. I need to take College Algebra to obtain my degree. To avoid prerequisite math classes, I needed to pass their placement test.It has been a “a few years” since I took a math class. I needed to study and searched for online courses. I came across many sites, but Mathhelp.com had the best setup, so I signed up. The course covers everything you will need to know. I went through the entire course and took the final exam a few times as reinforcement.The courses are put together in an easy-to-follow manner and provide everything you will need to pass any math test. The layout was easy to follow. The video, followed by practice, followed by the questions were so easy to follow. It is all on one page. There is no navigating back and forth. If you get one wrong, you are given a step-by-step explanation on how to get the correct answer. The reinforcement of each concept is helpful. The videos really make it so easy to learn. The three instructors are great and teach each subject clearly and in a detailed manner.Whether your child is struggling in elementary school, or you are a college student who needs some extra help, Mathhelp.com is the solution to your needs.I aced my placement test. I now feel fully prepared for the College Algebra class I'm taking next semester. I highly recommend this course.

My College Algebra course went well thanks to your program. The most helpful elements to me were the multiple videos of explanations that started off extremely basic and built up difficulty. I do not learn very well when I get blasted in the face with information then an overly difficult problem. Also the practice tests helped with learning and then performing which helped me retain the lesson.

My last PERT test went amazing, I scored 124 after many attempts before using your program. The most helpful elements of your course where the diagnostic tests and the video reviews.

In school I had big problems with math and always considered myself like a liberal arts person. But with this course I prepared for the Accuplacer to be able to take classes I need in college without mandatory remedial classes and I even fell in love with math. And now I understand it very well, thanks to you, and I find it charming to solve different type of equations. Even though English is not my first language I was able to understand everything. So after preparation from scratch I passed this test very easily to the level I needed. So thank you, guys! You’ve made a great product!

I have to say how much I enjoyed your TX PACT class. It was a great reminder of things I haven’t done in years. Your explanations were so simply put and easy to understand. I felt confident while taking my test, and actually enjoyed studying for it.

My FTCE Math test went great and I passed. Your program was exceptional. I loved all facets of it. I like the fact that if you knew one component you could take an exit ticket and move on to the next section. The videos were awesome too.

It was all a great refresher! The higher level math (above basic addition and subtraction) was super helpful to refresh my brain on how to do many concepts I had forgotten about. I was able to pass the PRAXIS!!! I just referred a colleague to your site who needs to pass the test too!

Tosha Lynn Youngdahl

I found the algebra sections to be the most helpful. I passed my MEGA middle school math test, thanks to your site! I tried Mometrix and failed the first time, but I used your site for just 2 months and passed with flying colors!

The first time time I took the PERT I got a 103, and the bare minimum requirement was 114. The second round I used MathHelp to study, and scored 130 out of 150! The instruction videos, and practice tests helped me a lot. Everything about MathHelp is absolutely wonderful!

As a math-phobe, I needed as much help on the FTCE math test as could get. A teacher at my school suggested your program. I loved your back-to-basics approach to help someone like me, a 58-year-old who never liked or could do math. I found your instructions and lots of practice questions and tests to be extremely helpful. I took many of the questions over and over again to get the steps correct. I always especially had trouble with measurements and geometry, and I think your program helped ease my anxiety and confront those questions head on. It also helped me get straight in my head the positives/negatives and when they apply in addition, multiplication, etc., as well as how to take a word problem and make it into a solvable algebra equation. It was an extremely helpful program for me. Keep up the great work!

That course was the absolute reason in my success of the TSIA2 test. I did pass it and can take College level algebra instead of developmental math. Specifically speaking, the quadratic equations, functions/graphing, linear equations in two variables and expressions, equations and formulas really helped. So I'd most definitely give that course a lot of credit to helping me pass.

I was more than satisfied with the math help program. I only got 2 questions incorrect on the math portion of the TABE test. I don’t remember having any issues going through the lessons, and always felt more than ready moving to the practice portion, then the test portion of each lesson. Each video was at a very easy pace to follow it was clear and to the point. I loved having the practice portion and always felt there was enough to practice on to really nail it down. For me my main issue in school was when the teacher would ask “ok does everyone understand it? Ok awesome moving on now” I was always not ready to move on because there was never enough repetition for me to really truly understand the material I was working on. There was material that I struggled with really bad in high school that I immediately was able to grasp during your lessons. If I ever encounter a period in my life and schooling again where I need help on math I will surely come back to math help. Beyond the teachings; the UI of the website and how smoothly everything worked was definitely a surprise for me. Thank you for the help.

The lessons helped me tremendously on my math placement test. I’m attending the University of Alabama this fall. I finished my associates degree in 2016, so I haven’t taken math classes in a long time. After doing the lessons I placed out of the intermediate classes I didn’t want to take, and into calculus. Taking this course has saved me around $2,000 in classes, and my graduation date was moved up. I’d say it was a great investment!

Megan Ramsey

19:25 21 Jul 21

Very smooth remedial lessons and it helped refresh my memory on things I had forgotten about. Overall it was very worth it and I'm ready to take my math placement test this coming month.

Your lessons were phenomenal, and I would be remiss if I didn't give proper feedback.Let me just start by saying I have been putting off (and dreading) taking the ALEKS Math Assessment for about 2 years now. Math hasn't always been my favorite subject, but as I'm getting closer to completing my degree, I could no longer avoid it. I knew that there was a possibility that I would have to take additional courses before I was permitted to take the courses I need for my degree, and that would have pushed my graduation time back, depending on how I performed in those classes, first. With that being said, I found the Mathhelp site, saw that there were great reviews, and decided to give it a try.Going through the lessons, some concepts that I didn't understand in high school, somehow made plenty of sense this time around. I found that your lessons specifically, were the ones I was able to most understand. I think it's your teaching style. You explained things in a "relaxed and casual" way, which made the lessons seem more personable and one on one. The other 2 instructors were great too. 🙂 I had a high hope that these lessons, by some miracle, could possibly help me to test out of any prerequisite classes I would need. Although ALEKS gives you 3 attempts to take the test, I didn't want to have to retake it if I didn't have to.Anyway, I finally took the plunge (ALEKS Assessment attempt #1) and tested out of the prerequisite courses!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not exaggerating when I tell you I was close to crying when I saw my results.The lessons were everything I could hope for and more. Thank you so much!

MathHelp helped me so much, I like how the teachers/professionals explain things step by step, I took my ASVAB and scored a 91, I have never been so confident with my math knowledge in my life, mind you the first time I took the test I scored a whopping 15.

Brian Henderson

02:08 23 Jun 21

I took the ALEKS test prep and it went really well because of the help from this program. I got into the class I needed to place into. I think the most helpful thing that was provided was while taking the tests at the end of every question I could see how the math was supposed to look if I got it wrong. It was really helpful for me to go back through that math that I blocked out in high school.

My daughter used Mathhelp.com to prepare for the Accuplacer math placement test at her university. The school required a score of 279 on the Quantitative Reasoning test to move on to the Accuplacer AAF. The first time, she took it cold and scored a 270, so she was not able to move on to the AAF test. Then she studied on your site and got a 299 on the QR and a 292 on the AAF test, so she is good to go!Your website is very well planned to maximize results while minimizing time investment. The method that worked best for my daughter was to take the practice quiz for each section and then read explanations or watch videos of the problems she missed. That way she wasn't spending time watching videos on topics she already knew/remembered well. I then had her take the full practice tests once she had gone through all of the videos she needed to. Sometimes she didn't even need to view the videos -- your explanations of answers were sufficient in most cases to tell her what she needed to know, but the videos were very helpful when she needed a bit more explanation/step-by-step instruction. Up until this year, she has always done well in math, but a crummy teacher combined with covid virtual school made this year a very tough year for her, and she has lost a lot of confidence as a result. I hope that seeing how well she can do with a bit of good teaching/support has shown her that she can be successful again in this college calculus course.Overall, I was very impressed with how well your website prepared her for the tests, as evidenced by her scores. I will also use your site as she prepares to take the PSAT next year.

I first want to thank you for the MathHelp lessons. They are well done, in a logical order, and I appreciate that they are short, explain the concept with an example (or more), and that there are practice problems in addition to quizzes and tests -- all with the work written out and explained so I could figure out where and why I went wrong in a problem -- and affirm what I did right. It was the best review of math concepts I found while looking for assistance to prep for the ALEKS math placement test at the local community college in which I enrolled. I am 25 years out of grad school (in a social science field), and as I am jumping back into school to pursue nursing -- a heavier math and science field -- I needed to review the concepts that I was able to test out of a few decades ago.I also liked that I could watch the video at double time speed if it was something I just wanted to quickly review :) The examples with word/story problems also helped immensely! I was faced with a couple of them when I took the ALEKS test, and since I had practiced them (their format), they came a lot easier to me. And finally, the fact that there are links to related topics within each lesson made a difference. I checked out a few of the links to related lessons along the way just to make sure I was understanding things as fully as I felt I was, and those lessons reinforced what I knew and gave me confidence to progress to the next section.As for ALEKS, I scored more than what I needed to place into the math class required to complete my prerequisite for the nursing program. I would highly recommend MathHelp!

This program was so helpful. I haven't taken a math course in 20 years and needed to refresh before taking the Accuplacer and going back to school. The test went great, I got a 292/300. It was so great to have access to mathhelp to refresh my long dormant math skills. I found the lessons clear and easy to understand. I loved the feature of being able to skip lessons I already knew. The little diagnostic quizzes were great to let me know which lessons I needed to take and which I could skip. Thank you for your work, I found the website to be such a helpful tool! I would recommend to anyone!

My CASA test was a breeze, thanks to the practice from the MathHelp course. I believe the most helpful sections of the course for me were the explanations for the more involved word problems. I also needed refreshing for graphing inequalities and volume equations. I benefitted most from the clear explanations and thorough solutions presented in the course. Class video length is spot on and the five question limit for each test is enough to challenge, but not intimidating or discouraging. Thanks for your great test prep.

Gay Murphy

18:22 10 Mar 21

The ALEKS lessons were indeed very helpful. Your explanations were clear and well laid-out. I’ve been away from math for nearly 30 years now, and I frankly struggled back then when I was learning. Today, I scored an 84 on my ALEKS placement test, which qualifies me for honors math placement within my school. I’d say you guys are doing something right!If I were highlighting a part that was particularly helpful, I’d pick the logarithms. That’s an area that always flummoxed me, but your explanation has turned that weakness into a strength. Simply brilliant.

John Rodriguez

14:54 22 Feb 21

The course helped me SO much!! I went from not knowing ANYTHING to making a perfect score on my GACE math program admission test! I literally felt doomed before I took this course. I think each of the teachers did a great job breaking everything down and simplifying it. I honestly don’t see how it could be any better. I really feel like I FINALLY understand math now after years and years of hating math and not understanding any of it. Thanks so much for creating this course and helping me get one step closer to fulfilling my teaching dreams!

I absolutely loved my experience with MathHelp. I am going back to school to get my Masters in Architecture and haven’t taken a math class in 20 years, so I needed to bone up for my Structural class. I appreciated the cumulative curriculum and the online quizzes/ tests with immediate feedback showing work when I got a problem wrong. Also, the ability to download the test scores printout / excel is key. Thanks again for a great service!

I took my PERT test this afternoon and got a 139! Was able to skip a bunch of pre req classes, so thank you. :) I hadn’t taken a math class since high school 7 years ago so the review definitely helped. The videos were very easy to follow and the practice questions and mini reviews at the end of each section helped a lot. If I ever need more help I’ll definitely be using Math Help again!

I’d like you to know that I absolutely love the Intermediate Algebra program, and will likely be signing back up in January for the College Algebra course. I’m 36 years old and have always struggled with math, barely graduating high school because of it and so I began with your program for the PERT test, which allowed me to get a high enough score to pass taking a remedial course.Continuing with the Intermediate Algebra program during the semester is absolutely the reason why I was able to sustain a B grade, and I actually have my final this afternoon and I am confident I will do well.I think the reason that your program works so well is because you keep it short and to the point. All the steps are shown, you don’t use a bunch of extra words and jargon, and you keep the problems simple so the student gets a chance to perfect those before going on to more difficult ones within their actual class assignments. There were several places where the things you taught weren’t explained in class notes by my school that made a world of difference (such as clearing the radical in the denominator, or using a factor tree to factor rather just trying to guess multiples). It also helped that your course guide exactly followed the flow of the class going from chapter to chapter so I could watch my class lecture (online course), attempt some of those problems...I’d struggle, then I’d go to Mathhelp, do well, and go back to the class coursework. It was an easy lateral movement. My not getting an A in the class is simply because I make silly mistakes like forgetting signs or the simplest math errors, but I feel confident in the course and that’s simply 100% from your program.Thank you for all the help your program has offered, it’s been quite an amazing transformation for me.

It had been years since I had done basic math like that. It was nice just to have a refresher on all of the CBEST concepts. Most of the practice tests I took were very spot on. I would say you guys covered most of the basics someone needs to know! They do a scaled score from 20-80 on the test and a 41 is passing. I actually got a 70 on the math section so I did pretty well! Thank you again!

This course saved my life as I was trying to study the math content for the GRE exam. The last time I studied math was over 7 years ago, so my math skills were almost non-existent until I found MathHelp.com. The course for the GRE was incredible - it covered all the material for the exam. The instructors are experts and very skilled at teaching the math concepts in a very clear and detailed yet broken down manner. I also like the practice questions which prepare you for the test of each lesson. The bonus material added to some lessons is also extremely valuable especially for the nature of the GRE questions. I didn't notice any shortcomings from the program honestly. Looking forward to acing the math section of the GRE. Thank you for the creators of the website and the instructors' hard work in delivering this top notch content. I give this course a 5/5 rating.

I passed my tests! I was using this service to refresh my math skills and it worked. I appreciate the service! You all do a great job. As an adult, I realize that we don’t always maintain knowledge if we don’t use it. Your format reintroduced me to proper methods, gave me time to practice, and then tested me. It was worth every penny for the positive learning experience.

I am not one to leave reviews ever. But I felt the need to leave a review for Mathhelp.com so other people can know how good this website is! I was skeptical at first having to pay for a PERT study course but I am so glad I did. I hadn't done any math since high school which was 7 years ago for me and I didn't remember anything at all. But I followed this course for 2 weeks and in that time I learned more than I had at years of school. I scored a perfect 150 on my PERT and because of it I got to take the Accuplacer and scored well on that too which placed me in Pre Calc and Trig! It saved me from taking over a year worth of lower level maths and thousands of dollars. For $50 it was definitely worth it and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to take any math placement test or just wants a refresher in math. I only wish all my math courses used mathhelp.com it is by far much superior to Pearsons mymathlab which pails in comparison. The structure of this course was by far the most efficient way I have ever been taught math. I just want to say thank you!

Billy T

13:21 23 Aug 20

My ALEKS test went really well! After not using math in over 7 years after using the MathHelp lessons I placed into calc which was a higher course then I needed! I genuinely loved the program and the structure of it. The videos are short and to the point and the practice problems allow for you to mess up before you take the test. Thank you for creating this site and offering at an affordable rate!

Lyric Danae

23:02 21 Aug 20

I was able to score an 81 on my ALEKS test which was far more than satisfactory for the placement I needed. I really enjoyed the clear explanations in the videos! All of the presenters did such an amazing job of clearly explaining the material, and the fact that you could speed the videos up and still really understand what they were saying was a game changer. All in all I was very pleased with the quality of the site, it reminded me of the way my favorite math teacher in high school taught. Such an amazing resource!

Jake Wittig

14:12 19 Aug 20

My ALEKS test went really well, much better than I needed to place into a class in fact. I thought the teaching was excellent at mathhelp.com. There was just enough information provided to answer the questions without any extra fluff. If I need additional help I’ll look to enroll in another mathhelp course to boost my chances of success

Mark Farmington

16:16 13 Aug 20

I'm a 40 year old going back to college at Penn State online to finish my business degree. I have not taken a math class in 20 years and when I found out that I had to take the Aleks test, I researched tutorials online. Out of the many tutorials that I sampled before I purchased, mathhelp.com was the best at providing short lessons that were to the point. I finally understand Algebra because of these lessons. I took the Aleks test this week and scored high enough to place me into Algebra II.After Algebra II, my only other math class will be Calculus. That was my goal and I accomplished it. I do plan on using mathhelp.com again when I start Algebra II in the spring semester and also when I take Calculus. Because of this tutorial, I am no longer terrified of math!

Iliana Garcia

13:38 07 Aug 20

Mathhelp.com was extremely helpful. I increased my math placement test score by 135 points by using the website. I am now ready to take college algebra. The teachings are a good pace and the most helpful thing are the links to previous lessons that remind you of building blocks you need for the current lesson. Also, the option to have the audio of a problem on the practice problems is extremely helpful.

Kim Agnew

This program was very helpful and beneficial. I ended up passing the TSI. I think the biggest help was the “work” part of the problems and tests where I could see where I went wrong. Thank you.

Melissa Mata

16:07 24 Jul 20

I graduated high school in 2004. When I took the PERT “practice tests” I was shocked to see how far my math skills had slipped through the years so I needed a refresher. The course went above and beyond and I will recommend it over and over. I scored 150/150!! I’d give the course I took a 10/10 and my advice to anyone preparing to take the PERT Math portion would be to not waste their money on any other study guides. This course was perfect and taught more in depth concepts than what I saw on the test. I was prepared to the point that the test itself wasn’t difficult at all.

Megan Lamb

12:25 13 Jul 20

The program was immensely helpful! I passed the General Curriculum Math MTEL 03 on the first try, which from what I understand almost never happens! Thank you to you and your team for the awesome support and structured format to reacquainting me with mathematical concepts that had been long forgotten. It’s never been easy for me to recall formulas during high-pressure testing situations but you presented the material in a way that took it to its most essential parts and gave examples that made sense. Particularly, I found the video-based lessons and the multiple examples of each to be most helpful. I also enjoyed the instantaneous results from the lessons and quizzes to test my knowledge along the way. Thank you so much!

Robert Grosvenor

17:05 07 Jul 20

My daughter really liked using mathhelp.com! She needed it for some refresher learning in preparation for her Accuplacer college placement test. Imagine her surprise when she scored so much higher on her math than she thought she was going to! Thank you for your helpful product!

Melissa Schindler

15:58 12 Jun 20

Wanted to say thanks so much for putting together the Mathhelp curriculum for people like me. Without all the content I would not have been successful on the TSI placement test. The most helpful was definitely the factoring, exponent rules and fractions involving radicals since you see a lot of that on the test. Overall it was very easy to learn and follow and built my confidence up and helped me be successful. I scored a 350 out of a possible 390 according to my advisor and now I’m in my second week of college algebra on a summer mini semester! Thanks to all of you and keep up the good work. I made a suggestion to my school that they should recommend your site to people like me as a prep for the placement test.

Nathan Fowler

16:15 07 Jun 20

My TSI went well and I passed all portions of the test. I found every section of your course extremely helpful. I appreciate all the help your lessons provided and couldn't have asked to find a better TSI study guide. Thanks again.

Madison Woodson

18:29 05 Jun 20

The 6th grade course went well. It was really helpful for my daughter to practice. The best part is that you have categorized the course according to STAAR requirements. It is really easy to pick one area and focus on it. The material is at students' level which they can easily understand. Highly recommend this website and would join again for STAAR tests next time.

How do I study for GED math?

Don’t settle for a typical study guide. Make sure your GED Math prep includes comprehensive instruction, guided practice, and interactive tests.

How can I learn my GED fast?

A great way to learn math for the GED fast is to use diagnostic tests. In other words, before you learn the concept in each lesson, check to see if you already know it. If you do well on the diagnostic test, you can skip the lesson. Using this approach, you won’t waste any time on GED tutoring you don’t need.

How can I pass my math GED?

If you’re struggling with the math section of the GED and you’re wondering how to pass, look for a program that has background lessons to build your foundation. The best GED math prep will allow you to go back and work on the basics at the same time that you progress through the course.

What should I study for the GED test?

When determining what to study for the GED test, it’s important to understand that there are four sections on the test: mathematics, science, social studies, and language. Students tend to have the most trouble with the mathematics section, so you may want a GED prep course that focuses exclusively on math.

How do you prepare for the GED?

The following steps outline the best way to prepare for the GED.

1. Focus your preparation on the material that’s covered on the test. The best GED Math test prep must be incredibly efficient.
2. Be sure to get plenty of instruction. Test prep books with practice questions are usually lacking in this area.
3. Choose a study guide carefully. Hiring a tutor is expensive, so most students will need to research other options. Fortunately, online programs can be very effective and much more affordable.
4. Take your time when answering the questions on the GED math test.
5. Beware of tricks. The answer that seems obvious isn’t necessarily the correct one.
6. Be confident in your answers. Second-guessing usually leads to incorrect answers.
7. Move on if you get stuck on a problem. You can return to it later if you have time.
8. If a problem doesn’t look familiar, don’t panic. Trust your math skills.

How long does it take to prepare for the GED?

Preparing for the GED takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on your background in the various subject areas.
