I've been studying math for the last few months in preparation for pre-admission testing at College. Essentially I need to prove I am not completely stupid.

About halfway in to the study material I have hit a wall, an Algebraic wall. Every year past grade 6 (or earlier, whatever) the curriculum would drift into Algebra territory and I got lost. There was a point I remember having a leg up on my classmates in math but that time is long gone. Year after year I'd fail a little harder...
