Hello! I am looking for an effective math tool to improve my math. I am already using the free math tool from Cheng's website (the free one) and the one on preplounge. I heard about Fastmath Ace the case and the Cheng one you have to pay for. Any suggestions, reccomandations?

Hi,
Any of these tools are good: Preplounge Mental Math, V. Cheng, Mimir Math.
It's more about the skills. I recommend to concentrate on the following:
1) Learn how to multiply double digit numbers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ndkkPZYJHo).
2) Learn how to work with zeros. You've mentioned - always use 10^power instead of zeros
Example:
300x9000 = 3*10ˆ2 x 9*10ˆ3=3x9*10ˆ(2+3)=27*10ˆ5
Handwritten it looks not that complicated. If you get used to writing all the numbers that way, you will never loose zeros and all multiplications/divisions will be replaced with + or -.
3) Learn the division table up to 1/11 (i.e. 5/6 = 83.3%). It will help you calculate any percentage problems
Good luck!

Hi,
I recommend practicing with:
- Preplounge math tool: https://www.preplounge.com/en/mental-math.php
- Youtube channels with math tricks: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjbxBzUM6SLlx_x8UABAdAB7Rbg9feqYa

Hi A,
The best one I used for my preparation and the one I suggest for my students is Mental Math.
It has 3 advantages
- You choose level of difficulty
- You practice the weakest part of your math (e.g. multiplication)
- You may read useful tips, while practicing
Furthermore, it teaches you problem-solving: multiplication problems are shown to be solvable by breaking problems down into medium and easy level problems.

All the best,

Dear A!
You can try 'Case Math' on the iOS store.
Magoosh's mental maths app, Mental math cards challenge app would be also useful.
In general, to practice your quantitative skills I would recommend different math, logic, and verbal tests on https://trytalentq.com/how-to-prepare/# and then select "Elements Practice Test".
You don´t need to learn them by heart, rather skipping through to get a first impression and a better understanding.
If you need any further help or career advice, feel free to reach me out.
Best,
André
