Hey everyone,

didn't know where to post this so if this is not appropriate here, sorry!

Question above. My advisor told me to skip precalc altogether because of my high ACT math score (34). Ive taken all the standard high school math and also intro to stats. I'm scared that I'm not prepared for calc 1 though. My algebra 2 teacher went through basic trig with us along with normal stuff of algebra 2 like functions, but other than that I have no knowledge of calc. I heard the most important thing you have to know is the unit circle, which I am familiar with but have not memorized by heart. Should I also know all the trig identities like the sum and difference formulas, quotient, and pythagorean identities? PLS HELP

so for context, i type around 120wpm on qwerty and learned a couple different new layouts a few months ago, but i seriously can’t seem to pass the 80-90wpm threshold on those new layouts. i know this is still a decent and proficient speed, but it’s hard knowing i can type faster in qwerty. i’ve tried everything, focusing on accuracy, reading a few words ahead of what im typing, focused on n-grams being just one motion. if anyone has any more tips or advice on practicing (i heard to just do short bits throughout the day instead of long practice sessions as well?), that would be appreciated. or do i just need more time to practice?

Hey everyone,

(Im sure this has been talked about before, sorry!)

I'm taking the PSAT this coming year and I have no clue how to study for it. When I prepared for the ACT, I (along with most people) just took official red book practice tests and maybe got a couple subject specific books to help. Is there an equivalent practice test book for SAT with official practice tests, or should i look into studying with online tests? Also I heard SAT study materials are sufficient for the PSAT, is that correct? Any helpful materials or general advice for the test overall would be appreciated :)

Hey everyone,

For context, I type qwerty around 120 wpm, and i started learning Dvorak maybe a month ago and am around 80 wpm. Learning Dvorak hasn't really had any effect on my speed of qwerty, however it might once i get it to higher speeds? not sure.

i was wondering how hard is it to touch type decently fast (~100wpm) in three english keyboard layouts at once with relatively fluid switching? I know a lot of people can switch fairly easily from qwerty to an ergonomic layout such as Dvorak or Colemak, but realistically how much speed would i lose if i tried to learn a third keyboard layout (graphite) without dropping one? (I wouldn't try to learn a third layout until i can type Dvorak at least 100 wpm which might take me another month lol)
