Successfully studying and reviewing for math classes or testing requires your dedicated work and practice, to achieve understanding. Calculators and shortcuts can help you, but ''only'' if you use them properly -- as when you are show your work in a certain way, as required, not just writing the answer.

#Learn the rules and concepts of math at each level (what does it mean, not just saying words and writing/drawing symbols). Don't just use the facts of math. Learn them deeply (both backward and forward, where possible and logical). That means do not be lazy, such as counting on your fingers. Memorize the rules and facts of math at your level. (So for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division tables, forms and formulas, know them instantly, not working them out each time.) Not bothering to really absorb/learn such facts, applications and meanings properly will make more advanced math difficult or impossible, until you go back and learn the basics.
