Then start doing it. It's elementary Maths. I could have got 800 in it even if I was in 8th grade. No difficult concept, all questions that can be done without a calculator. You just need to look at it analytically and struggle at times.

Here's an example, suppose you find this question (found in a website, don't have the link now):

4^999 + 4^998
---------------------- = 4^x
_____5______

Find x. (TRY IT BEFORE SCROLLING DOWN) (BTW, the "-------" is the line we use to seperate numerator and denominator while "____" is there for fun, ignore it)

Now if you are great in Maths, you might see how this is done. Here's the MATHEMATICAL way of doing it:

4^998 (4 + 1)
-------------------
_____5_____

Since 4+1 = 5, it's 4^998 x 5 divided by 5, cancel the fives and you can 4^998 = 4^x, so x = 998.

However, you might be awful in Maths and looking at this question you make a face like this guy right here.

You could either give up or you could STRUGGLE and plug in and find a way around this. Here's what you might have done if you made a long face looking at this (I don't think you did though):

You might have toned this down to slightly easier numbers, which are:

4^2 + 4^1
-------------- =======> This amounts to 20 / 5, answer is 4. 4^1(4) = Ans = 4^x. So the number on the right is the answer, and thus the answer is x = 998.
___5____

You could do this again.

4^3 + 4^2
-------------- =======> This amounts to 80 / 5, answer is 16. 4^2(16) = Ans = 4^x. So the number on the right is the answer, and thus the answer is x = 998.
___5____

CONCLUSION: Now if you struggled like this when the going gets tough, congratulations. You know how to get it done. However, don't flatter yourself. You're still shit in Maths. Get better. If you didn't, stop being an incompetent spoiled brat and try to struggle here for once. You're shit in Maths and you don't know how to work around that. You need work. If you did it with the mathematical way, congratulations. You are good in Maths. However, you still could encounter questions when the going gets tough, and that might cause problems. Do as many questions as you can to see if it does go tough for you, and how do you react?

Only present continuous, past continuous, present perfect, past perfect, future perfect, present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, future perfect continuous and bravo for reading this far tenses to go. Exactly 83 hours and 8 minutes left for this, the essay, everything else writing, tons of vocabulary, practice tests and Maths revision.

Shouldn't be a problem.
