Need advice for math

[iwannapushpills]

I hope one of you guys can provide me with some insightful information. I just recently took the June PCAT and I was a first time taker. The problem I faced came in the math portion, i was overwhelmed with the math. I saw some problems concerning vectors, and it seemed like physics based math. My question is what study material is best suited to prepare for this kind of math?

Vectors are taught in a general sense back in either calculus or pre-calc. So, use textbooks to reteach yourself that stuff. If you get a legit calc book, it should have problems that seem like physics problems but really they simply only refer to physics-like problems that do not require competency in mechanics to complete.

Thank You, I will look at my Kaplan and Cliff's book with greater detail.

You might also dig up any SAT IIC books you might have from high school. Those are really good for reviewing math.
