<p>I’ve always been bad at math; but I never realized just how bad I was until I took an SAT Math I subject practice test. I could barely answer any of the questions. My mind went blank. </p>
<p>I am extremely scared of taking the real subject test now. And what I’m most scared of is that I might have to give up my dreams of being a veterinarian because of this. How am I supposed to be a vet if I am bad at math? Ugh…Any advice or suggestions?</p>
<p>what you get on practice doesn’t directly correlate to what’s on the test. from practice tests to the real thing, my score improved about 150 points. just study what you can and don’t get too anxious about it.</p>
<p>I used to “be bad at math”. I used to say I was “bad at math”. Now I have an engineering degree, a math degree, and a physics degree. I’ve survived enough math courses to choke a horse. IMHO it’s a copout to say you are not good at math. The amount of math you need to become a vet is survivable by a reasonably intelligent person. Learning it requires practice and work, just like learning an instrument would. If you want to do it bad enough, you will be willing to work for it.</p>
