- Please Read - For anyone wondering, I recently took the CBEST for Math online because COVID-19 shut down the testing centers in my area so PBT (paper-based testing) was excluded. Although this video does an excellent job explaining the types of questions that are shown throughout the exam, unfortunately the proctor monitoring the exam prohibited scratch paper during the exam. I went on to not even complete the entire exam because the Pearson emblem ended up blocking some of the questions' information that extended to the end of the screen which blocked me from reading necessary information. Also, not using scratch paper was a huge thing to me, they prompted me to use my head instead for very lengthy and complex word questions. I want to sub very bad, but if they continue this sort of practice I urge anyone looking to sign up not even bother wasting their money. Their tech help was terrible, rules were too, and was not treated appropriately for the whole session. In short, don't waste your money.
Can I ask? Did you do the online version where you take it from your own computer? or did you do the computer-based version where you use a computer at a site? I know the online version is new and you have to get approved to take it at home. Also, I just find it odd how they did not let you use scratch paper. I have taken the computer-based version and the center always provides me with a whiteboard as "scratch paper". I am from Downey Ca and there are plenty of sites opened in my surrounding area for the computer-based tests.
@@melinaavina5696 I was wondering if they did provide paper. I am scheduled to take the test on 11/29. Did you just study this video only before taking the math test? Thanks
Gracias, Maria, for the tutorial videos. gracias a estos videos pase mi examen de matematicas hoy con un 46. veia estos videos todos los dias desde noviembre!
I am shocked at how easy this is! I got almost all questions right and didn't even practice at all. NO geometry level math yet, just simple basic math. I have my test for next wednsday but i'll try to re schedule it for thursday or friday of this week and get it done. So far, its very simple stuff.
I just took the online proctored version and I would NOT recommend it for this subtest. You cannot use scratch paper, only a text box to take notes; no drawing. The online reading and writing should be fine, but trying to do long division or multiplication all in your head can be super difficult. Good luck!
Hi Maria, I would like for you to download videos solving the math problems used in The Princeton Review for the CBEST. You explain these math problems very well.
Hello. If you subract -36000-29000 you get -65000. Remember that if you start with a negative that means you start with debt and subtract some more youend up in more debt. Addition of two negative numbers. So the answer would be negative 65000. But there are no negative answers. The other reason is that it talks about distance, and distance is always positive. Hope this helps.
Maria I took the test 4 times and did not pass. Max I got was 29 so I basically need 8 points to pass. I have not taken math for over 35 years. What do you suggest. Do you give one on one to tutoring. How much do you charge.
Sorry. I don’t do one on one tutoring. But I recommend to strengthen your basic math skills to understand more complex questions. I have a playlist that I recommend. Math Maria Module F. But also try to practice fractions and unit measurement conversions. ua-cam.com/play/PL6WCvXb47nGBfyblqfDhFBr183RaMwvGG.html&si=dlhKquxPdneseRkQ
Hello there, I had some doubts about some questions, for number 17, why do you just subtract the numbers 12-(-15), why don't you subtract all of the three highest(positive numbers) from the lowest temperatures? Also what section does this fall under? I have the CBEST book, so I was wondering if I could take a look at the chapter. Also for the last question number 20, you mentioned that we need to find the common denominator, when I first looked at the fractions, I thought the common denominator would be like 24, that would not be wrong right, you would just have to simplify it further to get the correct answer? Thank you so much for the videos! They have been very helpful!
It is asking the difference between the highest temperature (the super highest of them all) which is 12 degrees and the lowest which is Friday’s temperature -15 degrees.

I have taken it at the testing site for the math portion and they provided scratch paper.

@@melinaavina5696 Were the math questions same as shown in this video ?

Also, thank you commenters for the tip to NOT take this portion online proctored. I was going to do that. just switched to testing center.

Muchas Felicidades por pasar tu examen.
Another amazing video. Great explanation, your voice is calming also.

I wish every school has teacher like you

I will try to look for them.
hi, for #14 how did you know to subtract 29,000- (-36,000) instead of -36,000-29,000

For the last question that is correct
