Re: i hate trig
truth be told, at first it seems easy, but when you start getting really long, complicated problems that take easily 10 minutes to do or more, you get REALLY frustrated.
i had a 10-problem test today i had to take in 40 minutes, all the problems were long and complicated.
do the math.

Re: i hate trig
My advice would be, if you know the basics, figure out the required steps for each problem before you do each. Also don't feel overwhelmed, if you know the basic proofs then just be calm, figure out a plan of action and go.
Maybe you should practice longer more complicated problems and time yourself, or do them against a time limit so as to be able to do them faster. When studying you really should do some questions under exam conditions.

Re: i hate trig
If you're having trouble ask for help from the teacher. Does your school have student tutors? Keep plugging at it. Unless you like the thought of punching a time clock for a living...

Re: i hate trig
Ahh, I remember trig. The only reason I didn't stab my eyes out in that class is because my teacher was all kinds of awesome. He spoke math and I understood it. Plus, he looked like Dean Stockwell, which was pretty amusing (for those of us who grew up watching Quantum Leap!). If I had any other teacher, trig would have kicked my butt since I'm about as mathematically inclined as a rock. Definitely keep working with your tutor if your teacher is unhelpful.
Re: i hate trig
I didn't have any problems with trig, and I didn't have any problems with calculus. But I never could remember all the formulas for integrals on the trig functions.

Re: i hate trig
not saying its easy, but thats like for minutes a problem. which, from how you are describing trigonometry, sounds fairly reasonable.
oooh! wait... you mean you were allowed 40 minutes to take the test itself? because in that case,....yeah, that sucks.
