Huge thanks to you grammar Hero!!. I passed my ASVAB! And I go to MEPS Tomorrow!!!. Once again thank you so much. More people need to know who you are!!. Keep it up!!!!!!!!!
Hey grammer hero, just want to thank you for helping me improve! I literally spent an entire month studying nothing but your videos, unfortunately i did not get as high as i wanted with a 60 or higher to get the photo job i wanted, but i went from a 32 to a 44, and no im able to get the Flight Attendant job i want aswell, so without you i would have never gotten it, thank you!
Thanks a lot for your videos. got an 83 taking it my first time. I grinded the hell out of your videos, watched your two playlist like 3 times and did practice test from the kaplan book (which i do not recommend). the asvab was really different from the kaplan book, overall it was a weir test with simple but tricky questions
Congrats on the score, you're welcome, and I wish you the best if you join the military! Typically, the higher you score, the stranger the questions get. I really have no idea what's in the Kaplan book, but I've heard mostly good things about it.
Question on your example of finding the area of the shaded circle. Why did you not multiply 2500 to pi and multiply 1296 to pi and get the difference of the two for the area instead?
Hello , Sir! Sorry to bother again, so I took the PICAT not too long ago and got a 93 , thr arithmetic reasoning was not at all hard I read the question and knew what to ( same type of problems as you have us do) . For math I struggled a bit more specifically on factoring polynomials knowing wether to perform distribution or not . I’ve watched your videos regarding those topics but I just can’t grasp it. I’ve solely been doing those types of problems before I have to take thr verification test in a couple weeks. What would you recommend I do ? I also did all your predictor tests started from thr bottom as you told me to , on #8 I got a 70-90 range but I am working on test #2 (still have to do #1 as well) and I’m finding myself struggling on it !!
If you got a 93 on the PiCAT and are getting in the 70 to 90 range on my website, you should be fine on test day. So, I think you may be overthinking things. When factoring, you never distribute. In fact, factoring is doing the very opposite of the distributive property. The reason factoring gets hard is because you have to have to look at a problem and identify what factoring technique you'll use for it it. If you look below, you'll see that I discuss 6 different factoring techniques that apply to different scenarios. The only time you really need to use the distributive property is when you are multiplying, not factoring, polynomials. For example: (5x + 2)(4x + 1) 5x(5x + 2 + 4y) As for polynomials, there are only four things you need to know how to do: 1. Factor them.

Thank you so much for your time & response Grammar Hero ! I will keep you updated !!!
I have a playlist called Algebra on the ASVAB. In that playlist, I group the topics by similarity, so people don't get confused. You should notice that adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials are grouped together and then factoring techniques are grouped together. ua-cam.com/play/PLhlU-GzAQeG32uoM-Brd8JueNwDHZWz-o.html

And then just a lot of (3a^2+4a^3)(5x^2+6) and where I’d have to narrow it down to (x ) (x ) I had an idea of how to solve them but I just want to be at the point where I’m certain in my answers . I will start watching those links tomorrow morning ! Thank you , thank you !!!
A question on your example of finding the area of the shaded circle: Why didn't you multiply 2500 by pi, multiply 1296 by pi, and take the difference of the two for the answer? Instead, you did 2500 minus 1296, then the difference of 1204 you multiplied by pi. Of course, my process made it more tedious, though.
hello grammar hero, why don't you half the radiuses? if it was a diameter then its complete, but if its a radius then the numbers get halved like your first and second question, right?
For the ASVAB, you need to understand this about circles: d = 2r A = pi x r^2 C = 2 x pi x r or C = pi x d Accordingly, to find the area, you square the radius, and if you're given the diameter, you half the diameter.
When you multiply things together, it doesn't matter the order in which you do the math: 2 x 3 x 4 = 24 3 x 2 x 4 = 24 4 x 2 x 3 = 24 In question four, I did the math that way to make it easier to do mentally!
Hi grammer hero! In question #2 how did the equation go from two pi’s(3.14) to one, after subtracting the squares? It’s a nice short cut but I thought we would’ve had to times each square to their pi before subtracting? Thank you!
I didn't use a shortcut in that problem. Instead, you have to know your order of operations (PEMAS) to simplify the problem in the correct order. The order of operations says to do Parenthesis first, Exponents next, Multiplication and Division, and finally Addition and Subtraction (PEMDAS). So, let's look at our problem. pi x (50)^2 - pi x (36)^2
Because (1/2)(4) is much easier to work out. If you don't do mental math wherever you can on the ASVAB, there is a possibility that you run out of time. Easy math is fast, and fast is good on a timed test.

dude this is driving me nuts,,Why did you put at 14:00 pie x 50 squared=2500,then put at 22:20 5 radios=10 diameter when you clearly put 50x50 =2500 not 50 half is 25 ?wouldn't 5 squared be 25?????? making diameter 25 instead of 10?
@Stephen Shimkus It happens. You really have know how to find circumference and area of circles to do well on the test, so I'd work on memorizing them. Area = pi times r^2 Circumference (two formulas): 1. pi times diameter or 2. pi times 2r. The diameter is always double the radius (i.e., d = 2r).

Hey Grammar hero do you have any videos dividing algebraic fractions like polynomials?
I don't think dividing polynomials is on the test.
A question on your example of finding the area of the shaded circle: Why didn't you multiply 2500 by pi, multiply 1296 by pi, and take the difference of the two for the answer? Instead, you did 2500 minus 1296, then the difference of 1204 you multiplied by pi. Of course, my process made it more tedious, though.
On test day, you have to work quickly and accurately; making the problems more tedious will cost you time and effort!
hello grammar hero, why don't you half the radiuses? if it was a diameter then its complete, but if its a radius then the numbers get halved like your first and second question, right?
For the ASVAB, you need to understand this about circles:
d = 2r

Accordingly, to find the area, you square the radius, and if you're given the diameter, you half the diameter.
@@GrammarHero cheers sir, thanks a lot. hope you have a great day, u saved me from tis actual confusion.
In problem 4, why didn’t you multiply the numbers (9 & 4) together then multiply the fraction?
When you multiply things together, it doesn't matter the order in which you do the math:
2 x 3 x 4 = 24
3 x 2 x 4 = 24
4 x 2 x 3 = 24
In question four, I did the math that way to make it easier to do mentally!
Hi grammar hero your UA-cam is very interesting to me one of the videos for a easy through challenge questions
You're welcome, and good luck! Honestly, I try to include easy and challenging questions in every video!

The order of operations says to do Parenthesis first, Exponents next, Multiplication and Division, and finally Addition and Subtraction (PEMDAS).
So, let's look at our problem.
pi x (50)^2 - pi x (36)^2
I’m sorry, but in question #3 why did we distribute the 1/2 to the (4) only and not the (9) before multiplying 2 by 9? Thanks 🙏
@@ginisemoniz4528 I did (1/2)(4) first because that is very easy to work out mentally: 1/2 x 4 = 2.
So, (1/2)(9)(4) becomes (2)(9) = 18

Diameter is 2r.

@@GrammarHero thank you for all you do man,I just needed a break,I understand now that i was mixing formula's with real life diameter.
@Stephen Shimkus It happens. You really have know how to find circumference and area of circles to do well on the test, so I'd work on memorizing them.
Area = pi times r^2
Circumference (two formulas):
1. pi times diameter
or

The diameter is always double the radius (i.e., d = 2r).
area is always squared on the answers?
@Stephen Shimkus
Area is always squared, and volume is always cubed.
