meaning i'm doing the reading, and the problems, but have a hard time remembering all formulas. certain parts i'm even having trouble doing the formulas...it's all quite demoralizing! the question is, is it worth paying 1k for a class, or should i wing it, and hope that i excel at all other sections? (i've done the other quant parts fine- so i'm not sure if statistics just bores me or if i really just don't grasp the concepts!) |

statistics is difficult to understand. i would focus on: * confidence intervals * test statistics * hypothesis testing (when to reject when to accept) - when you see how this all comes together, it is much easier. dont worry about knowing the very complex formulas, as they will be a small weight, if at all on the test. go through it a few times, go on to another section, then come back to it it will make more sense the next go around. that being said, there is so much you can learn from a difficult concept on your own. you may want to ask a professor or colleague for help. |
