3 Use it with your textbook and be sure to do themargin exercises whenever the textbook tells you to do so. Each lesson of this StudyGuide tells you what pages to read in the textbook and which problems to do for home-work. After you have completed each lesson, you will be ready to take a test on that les-son. Show your homework and sample test to your instructor or another staff that point you will be given a test for a grade on that lesson. There is a final examafter the first five lessons and this will end math 95A. There is also a final exam cover-ing the last six lessons to end math textbook is Basic Mathematics, Ninth Edition, by Marvin Bittinger. It is a work-text, which means that you can do the problems in the textbook if you wish.

4 When youread the text, be sure to have a pencil ready. It is important that you do the Margin Exer-cises. They accompany the reading. The Margin Exercises are a check to ensure youunderstand the concepts that are explained, and also to help you gain the necessaryskills one step at a answers to the Margin Exercises are on pages A-1 to A-29 in the back of the text-book. Also, on these pages you will find the answers to the odd-numbered problems inthe exercise sets and all the problems for the Skill Maintenance Chapter Summary andReview Exercises, and Chapter Tests. The sample tests given in this Study Guide aresolved in detail in the back of this Study Guide . The homework problems should bechecked one at a time.

5 The complete sample test should be worked before beingchecked. There are 16 videotapes available that introduce each section of the textbookand work some of the exercises. On the next page is a list of these videotapes by sectionnumber, content description, and which exercises are worked.
