I'm trying to go back to school and get my associates degree. I graduated high school when I was 16 and have been out of school since I was 20, and also haven't had a real math class since I was 15 which was geometry. Getting into college here, even a community college, is harder than AZ... but I got accepted and am now trying to do the necessary steps to sign up for classes. I need to take my assessment tests again, and I did good on english and reading... but math, god, please kill me. I only did the first section, which is supposed to be pretty basic arithmetic. I couldn't remember what scientific notation was, how to determine speed, how to find out what percent of 36 80 is. It was awful. Really made me feel like an idiot and gave me a lot of anxiety. I know whatever I test into is going to be embarrassingly low. And I thought going back to school was supposed to make you feel good about yourself.
