I never had a teacher explain the process of elimination with common sense like you have, Thanks for the help.
So happy to help!! Best of luck on the exam!!
This feels like a real classroom, the best explanations here
Thank you, Xavier!! Let me know if you have any questions!!
I absolutely LOVE your method. It has helped me so much!! I am 45 years old and returning to college after 22 years with the intention of obtaining my BSN and unfortunately I am having to place the math placement test. I took it yesterday and got a 239 but must have a 250 and tomorrow is the second and last time I can take it and must score the 250. I felt completely hopeless until I started your videos, so thank you very much for giving an old lady :) some hope!!! Much Appreciated!!!!
I’m so happy to help!! Best of luck on the test tomorrow… I’ll be praying for your success!!!
These are the best math lessons i have ever seen. I always overthink math to the point I can't do it but the way you teach with breaking down the common sense and logic... my mind is literally blown! Thank you for these videos!
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! I’m so happy you’re learning to think about math from a different (and I believe, better) perspective!
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in any way... Thanks!
@@MichaelToohey Thank you Mr. Toohey! I wish all math teachers taught like you do, I probably wouldn't have failed college math LOL!!
you actually make math fun! ive never seen this approach to use basic logic and elimination it makes so much sense! Wow! thank you!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the course! Let me know if you have any questions!
I love the way you explain things without making the learner feel dumb 🥲 I had a teacher in high school who made me feel so embarrassed and stupid for not knowing basic fraction rules and then putting me on the spot. You explain things very well without judgment, thank you!!!!
Thank you for reaching out! I’m sorry to hear about your previous experience with math teachers… I understand your frustration!
Funny thing is that I had to relearn a lot of this stuff before reaching the course, so I understand where all my students are coming from, whatever level they are at!
Absolutely love your teaching!! I dropped out of high school at the beginning of 10th grade and never went back. Now, after 22 years I am trying to get into the BSN program and was able to pass and get my GED last week and now I'm scheduled for the accuplacer test this Friday. I will be binge watching your videos all day tomorrow (Thursday) so that everything can be fresh in my mind on Friday morning. Thank you so much for helping us!!
Thank you for reaching out!! Best of luck on your upcoming test… I’m praying for your success!!
I am in tears on how simple you have made these problems. It makes total sense. I have more confidence now going into this test after being out of school for 10 years. I think I actually have a change on passing this test now!! My mind is blown!! Thank you so much!
I’m so happy to help!! Best of luck on the test!!
I just finished part 1 now starting this video and I as well have never enjoyed math as much as I have today! You are a great teacher, you have perfected the art of it! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I’m so happy to help!! Please let me know if you have any questions! : )
The program that this man provides really does work! I’m applying for an apprenticeship program that required me to score at least a 250 on the math accuplacer (QAS and AAF test). I had a passing score of 260 for the QAS but I had only scored a 237 on the AAF. After watching his RUclips videos on his accuplacer crash course I decided to purchase it since I had my retake the next day and was very stressed. I watched all 13 hours worth of his week program in one day and learned how to do mostly all the problems thanks to his great teaching skills. The next morning I took the AAF test again and scored a 272! A whole 35 point jump just by studying his videos for one night! By far was one of the best purchases I’ve made since it has saved me a TON of time and money. If you are serious and want to get an amazing score on your accuplacer then you NEED to use this course.
Congratulations, Tony!!! This is an amazing story… Thank you for sharing!!! Best of luck with your new apprenticeship!!
I'm retaking the Arithmetic Accuplacer tomorrow. I had a decent amount of these questions on my first one. I had no idea on the Carol and restaurant question when doing it. Thank you for showing a new way of looking at these questions, because I tend to rush into the math and not look at the common sense factor. My last score was 263 and I literally need at 269 for my program! Pray for me!
Good luck on the test tomorrow! I’ll be praying for your success!!
I am glad you’re teaching process of elimination and common sense. For some reason people make math so complicated when really it’s easy if you simply pay attention and practice. I graduated high school in 2010 and need to take the AAF test to test out of a MTH class and this helped to refresh my memory. I was worried at first but after watching your videos I’m laughing at myself for being so shook to revisit algebra. I forgot how simple it really is
I’m so happy to help!! Please let me know if you have any questions... I’ll be happy to help however I can!
I just found the best teacher again since college explains and wild is teaching it having fun at the same time. Also, you said that this kind of test is more common-sense, it will be good to know the exercises. i always thought that I need to know everything, I guess I was burning myself. Thanks again.
So happy to help, Mateo! Thanks for reaching out!! Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you. I have been out of high school for 20 years. This has helped me refresh for my Accuplacer which I will take on Thursday. I am glad you took the time to make this. You are a good teacher.
Thank you, Timothy!! Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in any way!!
I’m in the same spot as you Timothy. How did it go? I need a score of 4 or better to get into the program I want. I’m nervous so I keep putting it off and watching these videos.
@@bobbobby5151 I took the test yesterday and missed it by a few measly points. But considering I haven't done math in 20 years and only spent a week refreshing on these videos, I'd say thats a pretty good testament to Mr. Toohey's teaching skills. Good luck on yours!
Hi, Timothy! You’re so close!! Don’t give up now!! If I were you I would consider purchasing the full course: with a little practice you should be able to pass, no problem!
Just click on the link in the description or go to accuplacermath.net
The English is not my first language but I live in 🇱🇷 at my 32 years old ( mom of 2 boys) I decided to go to college so I need to practice for my test admission. My English is not really good but I am still here 📝. I always keep in my mind " the path is not going to be easy but keep
trying it, you can do it"
Thank you for reaching out!! If you’re willing to put in the work, you definitely CAN do it!!!
Are you just taking the math portion of the Accuplacer or are you taking the reading and writing as well?
I’ve never understood or liked math until watching your videos! You are an amazing teacher and I wish more people could see these videos because they will completely change the way you take tests and do math🙏🏻
Thank you for reaching out!! I’m so happy to hear you are understanding and loving math…! Best of luck with your studies and best of luck on the test!
your concrete and logical teaching style is amazing ! its not boring and easy to understand the math better. im trying to get myself into college lol and these videos help a lot, thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in any way!!
Question 17: She made the same mistake I did. Calculated 60% of 30. Trickery! I’m convinced, I’m buying the program when I get home from work! 😂😂
Ha! Totally understandable... Thank you for your purchase: and let me know if you have any questions... Thanks!
I'm amazed and in love with the way you teach Michael!! lol love it !
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I really appreciate it!!
Love the videos, but problem 15 had me rethinking everything when you guys made a mistake. I was in disbelief how the math was done trying to make sense out of it, so I just waited to see the outcome and was relieved.
Ha! Yeah, I thought about editing that out, but just goes to show you don’t need to know everything about math to find the right answer! Also, even if you struggle with math operations, basic estimation is enough to find the right answer, fast.
I’m so glad I found these videos! Im 39 yrs old. Ive raised 3 great kiddos. Put one son through college at the University of Tx in Austin. I was a very young mom. And yet I myself never went back to school. I always struggled with math my entire life and recently decided to finally go back. Of course they require the TSI tests (all 3 parts) I passed all but the math….which definitely was not a surprise. Now, that I’ve come across your videos I will be using your strategy to help me. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you for reaching out, Theresa! I’m so happy to help! Let me know if you have any questions!
I’m so grateful for you teaching! You deserve a reward!! I’ feel so smart about this math test i am amazed by your teaching! Being 39 years old I have confidence in my next move with furthering my education!! You refreshed my mindset! You can teach a old dog new tricks if you have patience! Your the best on RUclips by breaking it down; hands down!! You have me excited!! 😅 I’m thanking you advance when I graduate!
So great to hear! Keep watching the later videos in the series (the difficulty level increases as you work your way through the course) and let me know if you have any questions!
I’m impressed going to nursing school and I have to take the accuplacer in 5 days I’ve been taking practice test flunking until I watched your videos THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊
Best of luck in your upcoming test!! Let me know if you have any questions… Thanks!!
I have been watching your videos for the past three days to prepare to take the accuplacer tomorrow for math (my ACT in the math section was too low) and i have understood way more from you explaining it then the teachers i have had over the years. thank you!
I’m so happy to help!! Please let me know if you have any questions... Thanks!!!
"You should probably re-think college then" LOL! You're videos make this so stupid simple. Where were you when I was in highschool? Thanks for the help!!
Ha! I don’t remember saying that! (Did I??) Anyway, thanks for reaching out, Lauren, and let me know if you have any questions... Thanks!
I have a placement text on Thursday to start a nursing school program,that’s if the weather is good in Houston.This has really helped me to understand this tsl maths.I was nervous but a friend reminded me to go on RUclips.Thank goodness,I came across this page.Thank you for all you do🙏🏻
Thank you for reaching out to me, Lilian!! I’m glad you found me too! You’ve got plenty of time to prepare… watch my TSI math videos, and let me know if you have any questions…. Thanks!
You’re a fabulous, great teacher! I am enjoying this!!
Thank you!!! Please let me know if you have any questions! Best of luck on the test!!
Thank you thank you thank you! You made math so much easier to understand. Got the score I needed on the first try, after watching the videos and practicing the problem 🙌🏾
Congratulations, Fredrekia!!! I’m so happy for your success!!
you are just way too awesome ...the way you simplified the problems is just second to none..
Ha! Thank you!! Please let me know if you have any questions!!
Wow you are truly the best teacher EVER! Thank you so much for all of your hard work, patience and brilliant thinking! GOD Bless you & all that you do! 😇🙏🏆
Ha! Thank you!! Please let me know if you have any questions!!
this is the first time I have seen an educator not shame someone for having to use their fingers- in fact encrourage it.
My teachers made me feel so ashamed for using my fingers that when studying for this test it wore me out trying to do it all in my head.
Most teachers are crazy… why shouldn’t you count with your fingers if it helps you understand the problem?? I’m down with anything that helps you find the right answer… : )
omg i hated Math for the longest time. i studied in college for 4yrs over 10yrs ago in the Philippines and completed Algebra, Statistics and Trigo but I’m rusty and always hated Math. And i’m literally binging ur videos to refresh my memory. I love how u teach how to do it and not assuming everyone knows how to do it. I needed this for my accuplacer test and TEAS Exam for the nursing program here in Maryland. You’re such a blessing. Thank you so much.❤
I’m so happy to help! Best of luck on your upcoming exams!
@@MichaelToohey awe thank you so much. I appreciate all u do. ❤😊
Your videos have me feeling super confident for my accuplacer tomorrow. Thanks for your simple explanations and focus on the process of elimination. It was super helpful!!!!
So happy to help!!! Best of luck on the exam!!
thank you so much for this!! ❤I would buy your course but I cannot afford it, but thanks to this video i’ve been finding math a lot easier. I’ve failed the TSI 4 times and next week I will be taking it for the 5th time again. Thank you so much for everything! these videos are very helpful
I’m so happy to help! Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
I take my test to tomorrow and I’m so excited. Your explanations are so perfect. 🙏🏽
Thank you, Chanel! Best of luck on the test… I’ll be praying for your success!
This is really great! I like how you think about the problems in a way that is so easy and unique.
Thank you so much for reaching out! Good luck in the test and let me know if I can help in any way!
@@MichaelToohey Thank you!
I had to mention this : here my teachers are strict af and they want the students to give like a correct answer every time, where as you sir, I respect your style and you are like a student yourself funny, goofy and nice, but you can teach me more efficiently than those strict teachers, yuck hate em, you are awesome, props to you good sir. And also in the end you said its ok if you don't do your homework, here students get punished for not doing the homework. ;)
I am able to understand your every single word at this point of time
Thank you, Syed!! I love your comment so much… I feel like it wasn’t so long ago I was a student myself, and the teachers who were able to reach me were the ones who showed me that they cared FIRST, and who were patient and kind with me… there’s a big lesson in there that goes far beyond just math or schooling in general… anyway, thanks again for reaching out!
I despise math but i wont lie, this guy made it look fun and easy. I actually found myself liking math alot.
I love hearing this!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you soooooo much your videos are very helpful Mr. Michael Toohey.
Thank you for reaching out! Please let me know if you have any questions!
Always hated math. In primary school: me with dyslexia+ ADHD+ dyscalculia+ impatient, poor teaching = ✏️😭
Now, as an adult: Michael Toohey+ easy math principles= 🙌💪🥇
You’ve made this so simple! 👏👏👏Thank you so much. ❤😅
It’s a joy to help students like you!! Best of luck on your test, and let me know if you have any questions!!
@@MichaelToohey 🥰🤗
this is the best review I have found. I am very visual so this helped me a ton actually understand! I am taking the accuplacer on Friday and not until now, I am sure I will pass!

i’m taking the accuplacer this thursday and this has helped a lot thank you
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions or I I can help in any way!
Michael Toohey i’m still not very good at multiplying decimals or precent to a whole number without a calculator any tips
This has helped the way you are teaching is so much faster and easier saves time also thanks
I’m so happy to help!! Let me know if you have any questions!!
Thank you!!! God bless you!!!
I’m so happy to help!!! Please let me know if you have any questions!!
I’m retaking my placement test and I need to pass 263 on the quantitative reasoning in order for me to place into class. Last time I got 262 and I’m rlly anxious and nervous to try again bc Im scared of failure. I’m buying the course and I hope the course helps me pass. It’s my first time buying smth like this on the internet but you seem very trustworthy so I’ll give it a try.
Thank you for reaching out! I think you’ll find the course extremely helpful!! And let me know if you have any questions!
@@MichaelToohey I saw these practice questions on the accuplacer website. Would there be any new problems for me to practice more? Because I already solved the quantative reasoning practice test already. I also realized the practice test and the accuplacer test itself is different for me because I feel like the things I’ve learned (like the questions) isn’t really similar on the test. I heard the test gets harder too if you get a question correct :(( This is my last try and I don’t want to fail again 😔 especially when all my friends passed when I’m stuck with retaking the test….
Great question! Yes, all the questions you see in my course are from the official released questions (from the makers of the test)… you probably haven’t seen explanations like mine, but if you don’t find the course helpful, let m know and I’ll be happy to offer you a refund… give my explanations a try first, though, because if you can approach the questions using the strategies I teach in the course, I think you’ll see your y understanding/accuracy improve significantly…
@@MichaelToohey Hi Mr Toohey, I passed my accuplacer placement test ! I always was off one point for my test but today I finally passed it. My passing grade for my college is 263 and last time I got 262. I was devastated because I know I can be good at math. Today when I took my placement test, It was going to be my last try. I was hesitant on buying your course because I was thinking how much would it really help me. It definitely did 😊 I got a 275 on my quantitative reasoning and passed to the advance math. Our school don’t start off with the arithmetic test, we start off in the middle and then see if we’re eligible enough to move on to college math. Anyways sorry for the long message but I truly am so thankful of you and your hard work. Without your help i’m pretty sure everyone including me wouldn’t have pass. Your math course is the best ! thank you again :)) (And I enjoyed hearing some short stories about your family in the videos, hope your wife and your kids are doing good ! )
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you and your success!!! Best of luck at the next level!!
And yes, we are all doing well in the Toohey family! Life is busy (as you might imagine with all the little ones we have!) but we are very blessed!
#17 took me out 😂😂 but I just think Juliana was checked out because it’s been a few hours and I think he realized that which is why he ended there. Awesome video, loved every minute.
Thank you!
Sir, you're amazing!
Ha! Thank you!! Let me know if you have any questions!
I wish you you would do the TEAS test like this. you are awesome.
Ha! Thank you… you’re not the first to suggest it! : )
Subscribed right away!
Great!! Thank you!!
Let me know if you have any questions!
thanks you so much for all the math lesson i did pass my test and got in the college i want to be
Congratulations, Julio!! I’m so happy to help!!
Wonderful video. I believe the answer for question 14 is D. There is no way 0.075 is bigger than 0.75 because when you look at the value of each number after the decimal point the value of the 7 is greater than the value of the zero in 0.075. If you make all numbers have the same amount of figures and line them up according to value they will look like this
3/4 is equal to 75.000 / 100.000%
0.75 equal to 00.750 / 100.000%
0.075 equal to 00.075 / 100.000%
Also note that 75 goes into a 100 1.3333 times
0.75 goes into a 100 133.33 times
0.075 goes into a 100 1333.33 times
so there is no way 0.075 is bigger than 0.75. 0.075 is so small that it goes into a hundred 1333 times and 0.75 goes into a hundred only 133 times
Thanks for reaching out! Look closer: the question says .75%, not .75
.75% equals .0075 because .75% means .75/100
And .0075 is less than .075
Make sense?
number 12 I kept going and ended up rounding up to get 6 for the remainder, being that it would be 66.55. That would have got me in a real test, so stop once you get the first number after the decimal.
I absolutely love your teaching method! Question 17: Calculated 60% of 30. I'm still a little confused about the process of elimination. Could you please explain?
No problem! Look more closely at the question… They’re not asking for 60% of 30…
They’re saying 60% of one of the ANSWER CHOICES is 30…
So calculate 60% of each of the answers and see which one equals 30.
Make sense?
Been watching these videos. I have my exam in an hour hopefully i pass
Praying for your success, Diana!!! Best of luck!!
@@MichaelToohey I passed !! Thank you for your videos
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you!!!
I am so seeing things with more clarity. Thank u!
I am searching for the complete Rules for Accuplacer test but can not locate, please help. Thank you
Thanks for reaching out, Irene! You can get access to the complete rules, along with all the problem sets and the Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, and Day 6 videos by going to accuplacermath.net or by clicking the link in the description of my Accuplacer videos... let me know if you have any questions... Thanks!
Professor Michael Toohey, thank you for an exceptional Accuplacer Math Crash Course. Professor Toohey, you found and corrected the error in Problem Number 15, however, you did not circle the correct answer in this Problem. Please correct this small error in the video.
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
It's good that she was incorrect on some that way you could break the answer down even more.
That’s why I like recording with students… if the students I’m working with are confused about some concepts, there’s a good chance students watching the video have the same questions too!
@@MichaelToohey Number 17, I think she was doing 60 percent of 30 for the answer 18 instead of 60 percent of a number is 30.
Yes! That makes sense! The place where so many students go wrong is just misunderstanding the question…
@ 29:13 u had me going crazy...im like something is not right.......lol
Ha!! Good catch!! I didn’t catch it at first (clearly).... but do you see how you can use estimation to find the right answer right away?
I wish I had u in Africa when I was in high school. But I think u are going to help me alot in college..haaha
Thanks a million
Ha! I’m so happy to help!! Please let me know if you have any questions!!
I Have just found your videos and they are super helpful because I'm taking the accuplacer test soon. Do you offer any discounts at all for your courses just cause I just can't afford it since with college and everything
Shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com
@@MichaelTooheyI emailed you:)
@lukejones7682 thanks Luke…. just replied!
I was keeping all the decimals lined up and still came out right but my decimal was in a different place
Did you figure it out? What are you doing differently from what we do in the video?
Is this accuplacer arithmetic test going to be these same types of questions, just a different numbers?
I would expect the arithmetic section to be pretty similar to these types of questions (these are from official, released Accuplacer practice tests…). If you are taking the Quantitative Reasoning and/or Advanced Algebra and Functions section of the test, you will definitely see some different question types testing a wider variety of concepts… Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks!
#14 got me questioning my existence, then i read the comments and didn't feel so bad. Also, understood it by comments. The explanation in the video was lost on me.
Ha! I’m so sorry I had you questioning your existence on that one! Let me know if I can offer a better explanation on any other questions!
Thank u so much for the answer professor ... and can u please tell me sir the total number of questions that comes in exam
If you are taking all 3 sections (Arithmetic, QAS, and AAF) you will see 20 questions per section, a total of 60 questions...
Im so damn confused by question 4. I wldve chose D. I’m now completely lost.
Where were you when I was taking math?! I actually get what you are talking about!
Ha!!! I’m sorry your other math teachers weren’t super helpful… but please consider me your teacher now!
Michael Toohey thank you so much! I’m really not that great at math!
I got the test tmr hopefully this helps.
Best of luck on the test!!
@@MichaelToohey I failed the first and 2nd time I took it I have one more chance to retake it at school tmr rewatching all of your videos the first time I got a 258 and needed 259 to get into pre calc and the next one I got a 256 hopefully 3rd time is the charm
You’re so close! Just one or two questions away! Don’t give up now!
@@MichaelToohey passed it today with a 269 thank you so much for posting these videos I would of never done process of elimination or used common sense I’m the guy that just looks at the math and picks the closes answer until your videos
Congratulations!! That’s a great score!! I’m so happy for your success!!
Also I didn’t do high school here,but I just wanted to know how many questions they might be asking.
No problem! Which test are you taking? The TSI or Accuplacer?
I wish my accuplacr test was this easy.
Thanks for reaching out! I start with the easiest questions from the Arithmetic section and increase the level of difficulty as you work your way through the course… the full version of the course covers every major concept tested on the QAS section and the Advanced Algebra and Functions section as well!
Let me know if you have any questions!
where have you been all my life !!!!
Ha! Thank you!!! I hate the way math is taught in school (math should be the most real and concrete subject in school), and I always thought “If I ever teach math I’m going to do it the right way...” I’m glad you found me!
@@MichaelToohey I am also very happy i found you I will be taking my test on the 11th and now I can honestly say I don’t fear taking it. I have been putting my dreams of becoming a nurse off for years all because of this test .
You’ve got this!!! I’m so proud of you for taking action to pursue your dream! Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you I in any way! Thanks!
Hello! I have my accuplacer math test next week. I read online that the accuplacer test will include a lot of functions, logarithms and trigonometry. The questions in this video seem easier. I’m just wondering if I should expect the test to be about the same as this or a bit tougher.
Good question! There are 3 sections to the Accuplacer Math test: Arithmetic; Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics; and Advanced Algebra and Functions… the questions that appear in this video are from the arithmetic section (the easiest section of the test). I cover all the concepts you are referring to in later sections of the full version of the course… “Day 6” is devoted entirely to the Advanced Algebra and Functions section, recently updated!
Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@MichaelToohey Oh thank you for explaining that
@ofo-odoyibamiemunu5458 I’m happy to help! : )
How do I access the math course after I purchased it but it kicked me out of the page?
Hi, Grecia! You should have received a notification email with the link you need to log in (although it may have gone to your “junk” folder depending on your email settings)… if you can’t find the email, don’t worry! Just shoot me an email at tooheycollegeprep@gmail.com and I’ll send you the login link myself… Thanks!
Are the questions really this easy on the tsi?? :) I have to take it Monday and a lot of the questions online are wayy harder than this so this really calmed my nerves!!
Great question, McKenna!
I start with the easiest questions and concepts on the TSI: arithmetic.
I don’t expect you to see a lot of strictly arithmetic questions on the TSI (if you pass the first 20 questions on the test, that is), but you NEED to understand the arithmetic concepts to be able to solve the higher-level-of-difficulty questions...
Make sure to watch my later videos (especially Day 3 Part 1) to see questions more representative of those you are likeliest to see on the first set of 20 questions... Thanks!
I just took the tsi 2.0 to get into dual credit! I passed everything first try as an eighth grader!! Now I can take dual credit all throughout high school and get some college out of the way. THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!!
Congratulations, McKenna!!! I’m so happy for you!!! Best of luck with the rest of your studies!!
Hi I purchased the course last night and I can’t get access to it …. Help!!!!
Good morning! I just sent you an email with the link you need to log in to the course… if you are still having trouble logging in, don’t worry! I’ll make sure you get access as soon as possible… Thanks!
I wish you have more videos about accuplacer math . Taking the test on Saturday . Wish me luck
Watch my TSI Math videos... the two tests are very closely aligned!
Michael Toohey thanks . I did
No problem! Good luck - I’ll be praying for your success!
Michael Toohey thank you
I’ll have more Accuplacer videos coming... stay posted if you still need help with the test! Thanks!
ok this is hilarious 😂. 2% of 150???? no way 🤣🤣
How do I purchase this program? Thanks!
Just click the link in the description of my Accuplacer videos or go to accuplacermath.net to purchase! Thanks!
Do I need to purchase the whole course if I only need to pass the arithmetic accuplacer section?
I wouldn’t think so... ! I cover most of the Arithmetic section in Day 1 and Day 2 of the course! If you need to take the Quantitative Reasoning or Advanced Algebra and Functions section, you would need the Full Course for sure!
@@MichaelToohey Thank you! These have been helping me so much. Great lessons for visual learners.
Thank you, Sabrina!!! Best of luck on the test!!
Hi Michael! I'm so confused with question 17. I don't understand how 50 is the correct answer. Can you please explain it a little more?
Great question! The question says that 60% of some number is 30… so 60% of one of the answer choices equals 30… try testing the answer choices. Multiply each of the answer choices by .6, because 60% equals 60/100 which equals .6
The right answer choice will give you 30 when you multiply by .6
Try testing all the answer choices, but you should get 50!
@@MichaelToohey Thank You so much!!
question 14 you said was A but isn't 0.075 less than 0.75? idk that problem just seems a little confusing i got D.
Great question, Keyana! Remember that .75% is different from .75
% means per 100, or divided by 100
So .75% means .75/100 which equals .0075
And .0075 is less than .075
Make sense?
I had this same question I was looking for some help in the comments thanks for clarifying
It’s funny, isn’t it?!when you look at it at first glance, it doesn’t make sense. But when you understand what percent MEANS it makes perfect sense...
Let me know if you have any other questions... Thanks!
I just purchased the program, where can I log in?
Hi! You should get a confirmation email with the link you need to log in (you may need to check your “junk” folder depending on your email security settings… please let me know if you have trouble finding the email and I can send it to you directly myself.
Sir what is the total time given in accuplacer math test
Great question! It’s an UNTIMED test, but most student finish finish the test in around 90 minutes...
I’d like to order your full course, but there’s one thing I didn’t understand-does your course include the Arithmetic Section as well as the QAS and the AAF Sections?
Yes! All three sections are included in the course!
Thank you! I do have one more question (sorry!). Can I use your course material on my phone? I’m a 63-year-old grandmother who is going back to college-not that computer literate-yet!
Yes! You can access the course on any device with an internet connection (including your phone!)… when you purchase, you’ll get a confirmation email with the link you need to log in… you can use that link to log in on any device you have!
Congrats on your return to school, by the way!!
@@MichaelToohey Thank you! I’m ordering your course today! I just realized I said I was 63-actually I’m 68-don’t know what happened there! See what bad shape my math skills are in!
Hello I have a question I do not understand at all would there be anyway to help me understand
Sure! What questions do you have?
@Michael Toohey so took me a while but i seen your new updated videos of the test i will be purchasing your crash course tomorrow and study for the test im 33 about to be 34 and decided to go back to school i hope you can help
Thanks for reaching out!! You can do this!! Don’t be intimidated by this test… watch the videos, do the problem sets between the sections, and when you can answer all of the questions easily on your own you’ll be ready to take the test! Best of luck!
I’m confused. Wasnt question 14 supposed to be answer D? 0.75% is bigger than 0.075 no?
Great question! No, .075 is bigger! Remember that percent means “out of 100”, just like 50% means 50/100 or 1/2.
Therefore .75% means .75/100
If you punch that into your calculator, you get .0075
Less than .075!
Make sense?
Is that how the entire exam is?
Oh, no! Just some of the questions from the arithmetic section of the test in that video… I increase the level of difficulty as you work your way through the course… Day 5 is devoted to the Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics section, and Day 6 is devoted to the Advanced Algebra and functions section… but don’t dismiss the arithmetic: You have to have that down to answer the higher level-of-difficulty questions, and you will see some like that on the arithmetic section of the test!
Question 4. Can we please revisit that? How is .75% less than .075???? There’s just no way right? Everything I know abt math I do not know suddenly. Please help.
I’ll be happy to help! Look closely at the question: it doesn’t say .75, it says .75%
Percent means “out of 100” or divided by 100… That’s why 50% equals 1/2 or .5 (all the same) because 50% means 50/100…
Now think about .75%…. That means .75/100, which is less than 1%! Go ahead and punch it into your calculator: .75/100 equals .0075, which is why .75% is less than .075
Make sense?
@@MichaelToohey omg thank you 😂 Hilarious. 🤭
I took a college geometry class just for fun i think I will be purchasing your algebra course for the same reason 😉 is that weird? 🧐 haha
@cestmoifu1406 yeah, that seems a little weird, but I’m glad you’re enjoying it!! With the right mindset, these problems are just little puzzles… so maybe not so weird after all : )
Mistake @ 26:39
Ha! I forgot about that… we caught it though, later, and I’m glad I left it in… just goes to show you don’t have to be perfect to find the right answers on this test!
.75 is 3/4 , and .0075 is seven cents?
.75 is 3/4, yes! But .0075 is .75%
Percent means “out of (or divided by) 100”… just like 50% is .5, or 10% is .1, or 1% is .01, so .75% is .0075… does that make sense?
Am I dumb? Because I still can't wrap my head around #1. I can only see 75% as .75
No, you’re right! 75% does equal .75 because 75% means 75/100, which equals .75
The tricky part is realizing .75% equals .0075, because .75% means .75/100
On question 17 I still don’t understand
The question is “60% of which answer choice is 30?” You need to realize that 60% equals .60 (60 percent means 60/100, which equals .60)… so to find 60% of a value, just multiplying the value by .60! So multiply all the answer choices by .60 to see which one gives you 30…
Does that make more sense?
Wow Is it really this easy???
The questions on the arithmetic section can be… these are from the official practice tests released by the College Board, the makers of the test… the questions from the Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra and Statistics section, as well as the Advanced Algebra and Functions section, get quite a bit harder… watch the other Accuplacer Math videos on my channel to get a sense of what the other questions can be like…
@@MichaelToohey thank you sir
I’m happy to help!
@@MichaelToohey Hey I just wanted to let you know I got a perfect score of 300 on the Advanced Algebra and Functions ACCUPLACER test on Thursday and I got placed into accelerated calculus 1. Wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos as they helped me alot :D
That’s amazing!!!! I don’t think I’ve ever had a student get a perfect score before!!! I’m so happy for you (and impressed!!)
2556
What is the full mark of this test???
Great question, Alina! The highest score you can get is a 300… for most programs a 250 or a 260 is considered a passing score…
Check with the school or program you are applying for, however, to find out what score is required for you….
@@MichaelToohey ok thank you so much for the information!!
My pleasure!
@@MichaelToohey I'll go through all your videos❤ Hope I'll get the required mark !!😊Thank you again!
