I passed my last exam today!!!! It has been a long time coming. I'm so glad the day finally arrived 🙌 I just want to say thank 😊 for being the great teacher that you are. Learning the calculator helped me tremendously. And for anyone reading this ,please continue to study and stay focused. It will pay off I'm living proof 😄🤗

[@PurelyPersistent]

Marcella - YOU ARE AMAZING!! I am so happy for you. Thank you for sharing your success and encouraging others.

[@demitriaingram2672]

Congratulations to you...I have been half-heartedly trying to pass the math part for the past 2 yrs. Every time I take it I get closer to passing, but I feel even more confused. I hate it so much because I cannot seem to catch on. I am a few points away from passing and I am scheduled to take it again on the 24th. I am nervous and I thought to look up on KZbin to see if I can get some extra help and found this video and your comment. It's inspiring. I hope this can help. Thank you.

[@mistyjordan7147]

I missed by 4 points in the HiSet math. I found out HiSet uses a different calculator, they have us to use a TI-30XIIS instead. The calculator you're demontrating with is used for the GED.@@PurelyPersistent

[@mistyjordan7147]

​​@@PurelyPersistent I passed every subject on the real HiSet test except for math and missed by one point. I can't graduate Saturday, June 15, 2024 because of the 1 point. 😢

[@billreed3265]

Ur enthusiasm is nice. I need to be like that. Would do a video on explaining geometry formulas, am gonna do my hiset next week.

Hey I'm here a year later I'm debating if I wanna take the GED I heard it's really hard but I honestly just wanna get that over with since I always had a hard time with school thank you for being so informative I'm gonna practice on ur videos 😁

[@PurelyPersistent]

Yes, you should take it. Study hard and be Purely Persistent!

[@evalyngovea4195]

My test is tomorrow at 12 noon. I have a quick question, what is the difference between scientific notation and the powers ?

[@PurelyPersistent]

Good luck tomorrow! You can do this!! Scientific notation is the power of 10. For example 5x10^3 = 5000. Powers is the number multiplied by itself. For example 5^3 = 5x5x5 = 125 I hope this helps!

[@PurelyPersistent]

So,,, are you going to use a calculator on the test??

[@ERICKAACOSTA]

Here in California we use the Casio fx 260 failed twice but I definitely didn’t know how too use it . Today I got the instructions and started practicing 🙏🏽

[@PurelyPersistent]

YAY!! I’m so glad to hear that you are now practicing. Good work!

[@TheMcCourtney]

Absolutely!! Thanks for the help!!

I just took the hiset math and scored a 6. :( but the calculator on the computer did not look scientific at all. Or maybe I didn’t know how to transform it from basic to scientific, idk.

Four function calculator is the correct term I guess. 🤷‍♀️ can you do a video on that please?

I'm truly so confused, for hiset in Louisiana both times ive taken the test, onsite and virtual all they give is a basic cal, not a scientific cal with =out being programmable. I spoke to the test Center and PSI, I can't bring my own to testing site and I do not know how to do the intense portion of the test with a basic cal. Could you please do a video on this??

Do HiSet takers use the same calculator as the Ged test takers or use a different calculator?

[@mytruthfulness7813]

I bought this calculator to practice but taking the test online at home next week. It’s a shame we can only use the calculator and scratch pad on the screen….just makes my anxiety worse. Math is the last subject to pass the HiSET. Just want to get this over with.

You can do this. Just believe in yourself!

Can you do a video on how to use the casio-cfx260 scientific calculator. My teacher says the hi- set only uses a basic 5 function calculator. But the hi-set says we are allowed to only use the one listed.

You can either type in 3.1415 or the Pi button. Just do whatever the test suggests.

[@bobihallak5533]

Do you know if this is the online calculator provided for the HiSet test?

[@PurelyPersistent]

While the calculator that I show is what is provided when you take the in-person HiSET test, the online test is very similar. I would make sure that you know how to do each of the techniques that I illustrate in this video so that when you take the HiSET math test, you will be well prepared. By the way, I have a math playlist with few videos where I take HiSET practice math tests and go over math techniques. I recommend you watch those videos. :)

[@bobihallak5533]

I am going to watch every single one! I am also going to purchase a calculator to practice on and wanted to be sure to get the right one. Thank you for responding

[@PurelyPersistent]

@@bobihallak5533 Sounds like you have an amazing plan. Good luck on your journey! :)

[@donnaannclark2912]

With the math heist test you can use the calculator the entire test. They told us no at my school

[@PurelyPersistent]

Hmm... According to HiSET, you should be able to use the calculator on the test. However, GED only allows the calculator on half the test.

[@samanthamartin512]

Umm we are not allowed to use a scientific calculator we have to use a basic calculator

[@PurelyPersistent]

This is not a scientific calculator. It is the only approved calculator for the GED and HiSET tests. :)
