Online Math Primers

Gork

Does anyone know any online math primers? Preferably free.

I've applied for an analyst position and they want me to take a math test before giving me an interview. I have an MBA, but I graduated last June and haven't done any real math since, so I'd like some practice before going into this. Supposedly no calculus or statistics on it.

I would recommend looking for sample math tests for the GRE (Graduate Record Exam). Take the sample test, figure out where you're having problems, and hit Wikipedia or Wolfram.com for specific help.

I will second the GRE advice, especially since you can download a lot of it for free from here.

http://www.purplemath.com/ has lots of great algebra information on it.

Schaums Outlines are not online but they are cheap and worth it. The world essentially runs on Schaums; every kid in India or China who needs a quantitative job studies with a Schaums book. It's a better idea than looking around online for "free" problems that eventually aren't so free.

Unless you need mental arithmetic practice, which is really best to do online because of built-in timers; for that, use this.

So I've been able to gather a little more info on the test and apparently it mostly consists of graphs and charts and then questions about them in a timed setting.

The test is going to be similar to the one found here:

Does anyone have any advice for practicing for something like this? They're not hard questions but I tend to struggle when I'm under a timer.
