I never learned basic high school algebra..

Im good at basic math like multiplying,dividing,fractions ect.


But since I never learned basic algebra, what should I do?

Since I never learned basic algebra I wont be able to complete any pre-requisits..

I start college next month at a Community College.

What should I do?

Take basic algebra! Than the next level of math. You never took algebra in high school?
 
You have several options. 1) take math classes. 2) learn math on your own (keep in mind that many schools require Calculus as a pre-req), or 3) for those schools that don't require calc, guess like hell on the DAT QR. Lots of people get into dschool with a 13 QR, and that's literally a shade above random guessing. Bubble C straight down the list and you get an 8QR. Answer 5-6 questions right without guessing and you get a 13QR. That's good enough to become a dentist.

You should shoot for at least 6th grade grammar by learning the difference between "your" and "you're." :laugh: Yup, yup.

Hey, Whose saying....anyway...their aint no difference.....😉
 
Take a remedial math course. I'm kinda in a similar position you are in (did good in high school math-wise, but ended up forgetting the majority of it because I never used it).

It's important not to be discouraged, just work hard!
