Congratulations to you...I have been half-heartedly trying to pass the math part for the past 2 yrs. Every time I take it I get closer to passing, but I feel even more confused. I hate it so much because I cannot seem to catch on. I am a few points away from passing and I am scheduled to take it again on the 24th. I am nervous and I thought to look up on KZread to see if I can get some extra help and found this video and your comment. It's inspiring. I hope this can help. Thank you.

My test is tomorrow at 12 noon. I have a quick question, what is the difference between scientific notation and the powers ?
@PurelyPersistent
3 жыл бұрын
Good luck tomorrow! You can do this!! Scientific notation is the power of 10. For example 5x10^3 = 5000. Powers is the number multiplied by itself. For example 5^3 = 5x5x5 = 125 I hope this helps!
So,,, are you going to use a calculator on the test??

I'm truly so confused, for hiset in Louisiana both times ive taken the test, onsite and virtual all they give is a basic cal, not a scientific cal with =out being programmable. I spoke to the test Center and PSI, I can't bring my own to testing site and I do not know how to do the intense portion of the test with a basic cal. Could you please do a video on this??
I bought this calculator to practice but taking the test online at home next week. It’s a shame we can only use the calculator and scratch pad on the screen….just makes my anxiety worse. Math is the last subject to pass the HiSET. Just want to get this over with.

While the calculator that I show is what is provided when you take the in-person HiSET test, the online test is very similar. I would make sure that you know how to do each of the techniques that I illustrate in this video so that when you take the HiSET math test, you will be well prepared. By the way, I have a math playlist with few videos where I take HiSET practice math tests and go over math techniques. I recommend you watch those videos. :)
