I cannot figure out the volume one. I can't get to the 9.8

fantastic video, really appreciate the way you break things down. Thank you so much!

Your amazing dawn 😊

2x

I truly do not understand, the logic behind number two for basic math

Question 5 threw me bc you said if we consider 0 and take y=mx+b, like why would you randomly think of that formula. Do not see the connection

Thank you.

Can you share a link where we can find this test? Thank you for posting the video.

In the room waiting for the instructor studying this video 😫

@34:10 .... Once that volume is determined, you can rule out the two wrong answers by simply 'rounding' the volume and the gallon per volume. First simply round up to 10 and 7.5 gal (which would give 75 gallons), then round down to 9 and 7 (which would give 63 gallons). You can simply compare these estimates with the answers to see that the first two answers are ruled-out, because both or your estimates of 75 and 63 are above 59 and 37 (making them impossible to be correct)..... The important thing is that you avoided the long multiplication step, with two very simple multiplication estimates (10 x 7.5, and 9 x 7). This can't always be done , but here it can be. In these aptitude tests, if you can't use a calculator, strategy can become important.

@24:25 .... Look at #12 (skipped): the answer appears to be 40.625, or 40 and 5/8, which is not one of the answers listed. Is this right?

Question with the x-5 is kinda confusing still

Been over 13 years since I was in high school so this video definitely helped me get back into shape. Thanks for this video and I hope I do well tomorrow !✝️

Dawn, I noticed you labeled the questions on the timeline, but is there a more in depth on what we’re solving, polynomials, equivalent fractions, so I may pick courses from khan academy to practice. Thank you!

Dawn you are the best! Will you be my new mom?!

Thank you for this tutorial. I’m stressing out about taking the aptitude test. I took algebra back in 1989 & 1990 and remember nil. I am not backing out on applying to the IBEW. Thanks a million for helping us.

W tEacher

I took initiative to solve #12 (3 1/4 * 12 1/2) from the 26:20 minute mark. The answer is 40 5/8 and this guide doesn't have an answer for it. I even looked the answer up after doing it on scratch paper and it's correct. Is this guide wrong or am I missing a step? The answer is definitely 40 5/8.

good video learned alot of new things there was a few things u skipped over i wanted to learn but learned a couple new things thx

27:19 number 17. Tan(360) hope that isnt on the test cus i aint ever been taught how to answer this without a calculator and u skipped it lol im assuming the answer is 1 and Tan is representative of degrees in a circle so 360/360=1 thats what i figure from the answers given but as shown before the answers given arnt always correct EX: number 12 from 24:25

24:25 hold up wait a minute am i stupid or is the answer to number 12. 40 and 5/8 because i did the math on paper and got 40 and 5/8 in my head i also used a normal calculator and a fraction calculator and got 40 and 5/8 it looks to me the way they got the answer was multiplying the 3 and the 12 then the fractions and adding them together which is wrong so none of the answers are correct for number 12 in this part of the video

15:07 i was able to figure all these out but learned i dont actually know how to do proper division anymore ive always just known the answer or solved it in my head but i can deduce from the answers given that 8 is 46 because 40x10 is 400 so 46x9 has to be close edit: lol 18:40 bruh i was tryna learn division and u just tell me to multiply this is why i dont know how to do division the education system is teaching short cuts that wouldnt work in the real world without multiple choice

number 5 confused me because it said the constant = 5 when the answer i got was y=x-5 shouldnt it be -5 instead of 5 or are constants always positive its been a while since i was in math class

That’s good, this is a great video by myself. Personally, I haven’t done math like this in 15/20 years, it’s nice but I have to watch these videos so many times for me to follow your work, maybe I was just taught a different way or something lol but anyways great review and I appreciate it

Taking my aptitude this morning I hope I pass I been watching this video to help me study wish me luck !

Your communication skills are excellent. I never got loss as you broke down and explained each problem.

Thank you so much for making this video. Simple and easy to understand. Thank you.

So I took Local 11 LA and 440 OC here in SoCal. This video DOES NOT apply for Local 11. Look up mechanical reasoning and arithmetic solutions on Google with word problems. For 440, THIS is what’s going to be on the test but if you can afford it, iPrep has basically a 1:1 tests of what they have in the actual test. Technically iPrep was harder but prepared me for the aptitude test

🙌

i can barly hear the audio

How the fuck am I supposed to know 13 goes into 429 without a calculator

Hey Dawn, Great content. My test only had these problems that start at 10:53 They were like that but much harder and needed to be done quick. What are they called? I wish to look them up and study them. Thank you.

thank you so much for this seriously!! I'm learning a lot and the tips and tricks from getting from point a to point b are very useful BUT why are you making so much noise?? lol

Has anyone taken the aptitude test with a calculator?? It just seems necessary on a timed test....

I have a question on problem number 2?

Thank you for that video. I go in this Monday to take my test. I am a little confused on the last question on how you got 3.14 Thank you for that video. I go in this Monday to take my test. I am a little confused on the last question on how you got 3.14 on the equation

Thank you for doing this and helping people like me. GOD bless you

I have been using Khan academy and IPrep to refresh my memory on Algebra. if the commenters are mentioning the first 5 questions are on the Aptitude test just formatted a bit more complex then I can assure I will pass this test! Thank you so much for explaining so clearly!

1-5 are like the only questions I had on the test, took mine today! I passed. Thanks for this lesson.

I am praying so much and watching your video trying to learn and hope I pass I have my test on the 25 😅

I passed! Thank you for helping me have a better understanding of analyzing functions!

thankyouuu🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Took the test today 05/02/23 and it had 3 easy algebra problems (similar to first question in this video). And the rest was adding/subtracting/dividing/multiplying whole numbers, decimals and fractions. One square root question, around 5 unit conversions. No graphing at all. My test wasn't multiple choice and it wasn't timed. I only studied questions similar to first 15 minutes of this video but id recommend studying everything in the video. We also didn't have a reading part of the test. I guess every local is different.

❤

I took the test a few weeks ago and it was super hard

I just passed my Aptitude test and I can confirm just about all my Questions were related to the first 15 mins of this Video. Thanks a bunch for helping us out Dawn.

Super helpful.

I just got here and am about to watch your video! I really hope you really dumbed things down a lot, because I'm kind of an idiot and anything involving numbers was always my weakness in school. But even if not, I just wanted to thank you for putting such a helpful resource online and taking time out of your surely busy life to help other people do better in theirs!

I have my test in exactly 24 days! I am reviewing your video and will continue to do so until test day. Thank you in advance if I pass this test! Wish me luck everyone 👍🏾
