Mathematics is just like anything else. If you want to get good at math, you have work hard and practice continually. Nevertheless, here we give you some practical tips to best learn math.

1. Find a quiet place to study and remove distractions.

Try to find a quiet spot in your home or in the Library to study or to get your schoolwork done. You will notice that you get your work done much more quickly because you'll be able to focus and absorb more. If you like listening to music while studying, we think that it is much more effective if you don't. There are other distractions you must avoid, like being on the internet, talking to your friends or watching TV. In order to learn, you need to ignore everything else while you are studying. Learning takes not only effort and time, but also intense concentration.

Many organizations use psychometric tests when making recruitment and promotion decisions. Some of these tests measure your ability to reason, problem solve, decide and learn, which psychologists define as General intelligence or G factor.

Although some early studies revealed that you didn’t have much control over your intelligence, because it was genetic, the real fact is that you can train your brain and increase your intelligence, and the more you train, the more you gain. It is very useful to train doing problems that don't resemble the previous ones you have done, but doing problems similar to the test questions as well, because you will avoid wasting time understanding what you have to do.
