Spatial Apperception section/ help with math

[Persistent]

Hey everyone, this is my first time posting. Forgive me if this is a repeat. I found this great tool for learning and passing the Spatial Apperception section. I haven't seen this one floating around on this site so I thought I'd add it. It gives great tips and rules for easy and quick learning.

Also, I am scheduled for the ASTB on September 27th. My main concern is the math portion of the test. I have all of the gouges and the study guide. (Thank you everyone who shared) However, I am a visual learner and cannot afford a tutor. Math is like the Dlab to me. I have an app on my phone called Your Teacher and it taught me everything I needed for the asvab. What I am really asking is if anyone can tell me what type of math is depicted on the gouges and study guide? I know its algebra and geometry but is that high school algebra or college algebra and how far do I need to go. Is studying from those sources enough to get me into Navy OCS?

Thanks

Good luck with that.

Its all about the concepts. If you can take what the question is asking and put it into a formula, the rest is easy. Your over thinking it. As a visual learner, it should be easy for you.

ex: A Marine fired X rounds of ammo, gave 2X to his buddy, and had 27 remaining in a magazine. If they all accounted for 120 rounds in all then X=?

Always focus on what the problem is asking you for. In this case, its asking for the missing number X
Visualize you having 120 rounds. You shoot a certain amount X. Well how ever many you shot, take that number multiply it by two. Thats what you hand to your friend.
So, you shot a certain amount of ammo + gave 2(times) that amount to your friend and you still have 27 left. To account for 120 total.

X+2X+27= 120
3X+27=120
3X=93
X=31 rounds you shot to begin with
