Here's literally what happened: My computer started making odd noises. If any of you ever had a keyboard that had a mini fan you can connect to it and it makes a loud noise that's what it sounded like. I assumed my computer was working hard although my TV started to flicker a little which I assumed was just normal (Flicker as in the color kept changing a little). about an hour later it suddenly shut off and won't turn back on even though it was plugged into the power and properly into my computer. The fan noise is now gone after it shut off but me and my dad tried to turn it back on. It turned on for not even a second and it was black again. Now I'm here.


Dude just google your tv and the problem.

I took that, but I can't really remember too much about it. The theoretics of it is beyond what I care for.


Got any tips? I really want to get an A, and I'm ready to put in a lot of work for it.

The only advice I can give, honestly, is to immediately write down any formulas you're given, and put in the time to memorize them. Honestly, formulas are always the emphasis in maths, but at this level, if you don't know them by heart while in class, you're gonna have a rough time during exams. Also get into the habit of writing things out if you aren't already. Was one of the biggest difficulties for me, since I always do math in my head. It helps to keep track of where you are so you don't get numbers mixed about.

Just do lots of practice questions and highlight the ones that you get wrong or found difficult so you end up with a list of your weaknesses. Use this for weekly revision, so you don't end up forgetting all the stuff you learnt on 1st week by the time of exams. Keep all your work in a folder for future references in case you do forget. Don't be afraid to go to the professor to iron out issues straight away, otherwise it will just snowball and you wont be able to catch up. Maths isn't about memorizing, it's about understanding of concepts.

Let it be known that Veir is practically solving my ingenius riddle on his own; making him automatically smarter than Exilement, Nish, and Devour in this forum combined.

YOU GO GIRL!

Wait, since when was I one of the intellectuals of this forum? I'm not saying I'm not brainy at all, but I don't really show that side on the forums at all :u

Actually all the major does is prove that you can read things from the Internet and learn them

If you've been here for 5 years + and you're not a total idiot, you're considered a forum intellectual.
