Math

New experiment time! This time I'm gonna learn math. This is not going to be a short experiment. But it would be so damn cool if I can get good at math.

I'm going to use Math Academy.

Num Date Time Daily XP Cumulative XP Notes
1 2025-12-01 2h:50m 105 105 Started with Mathematical Foundations I. The diagnostic test result started the course with 70% completed.
2 2025-12-02 1h:55m 111 216 Very basic stuff and I knew most of it. So easy day!
3 2025-12-03 2h:10m 115 331 Today was fun. Learnt stuff like expanding binomials using pascals triangle and slope-intercept form of lines which I had long forgotten.
4 2025-12-04 1h:40m 117 448 Was a bit hard today for some reason. There was an assessment today: 10 questions in 10 minutes. Thats kinda harsh lol. Anyway just grinding on.
5 2025-12-05 2h:05m 156 604 Only got 9 out of 11 correct in my test today which sucked. I panicked seeing the alloted time(which isnt much) tick down on screen and made mistakes.
6 2025-12-06 1h:35m 109 713 Starting to feel a bit tired.
7 2025-12-07 2h:13m 122 835 Perfect score on the test today whew.
8 2025-12-08 1h:19m 53 888 Unfortunately sick today. There was a multistep task today which needed a formula not taught before. That was weird. Likely some content issue.
9 2025-12-09 1h:52m 135 1023 Only got 10/13 questions right in the quiz today. Still making silly mistakes when I try to rush. I also struggle with absolutes.
10 2025-12-10 1h:44m 114 1137 Perfect test in todays test yay! And pretty fun lessons. I'm starting to get the gist of absolutes.
11 2025-12-11 1h:26m 106 1243
12 2025-12-12 1h:42m 108 1351 Perfect test today. Also you make an amazing number of simple mistakes when its the end of the day and tired. Always a good idea to study in the morning when you are rested.
13 2025-12-13 1h:57m 133 1484 Perfect test today. I think things are wrapping up. The same stuff seems to be revisited a lot with minor differences.
14 2025-12-14 1h:53m 121 1605 Perfect test today. I finished the test 5 minutes early which is a first. Also finished Mathematical Foundations I today! Onto Mathematical Foundations II. Very excited!
15 2025-12-15 1h:52m 112 1717
16 2025-12-16 1h:30m 111 1828 It's not exactly difficult but its a lot of different stuff you have to keep in your head.
17 2025-12-17 1h:56m 126 1954 Test went well today. Way too many formulas today. Not sure how I'm going to remember all of this.
18 2025-12-18 1h:50m 110 2064 Only got 13/14 answers in the quiz right. Couldn't remember the formula for sides of a 30-60-90 triangle quickly enough. Probability is so confusing.
19 2025-12-19 2h:22m 142 2206 Only got 9/12 in the test today. I completely ran out of time. It takes me too much time to read and understand a probability question. Hopefully this gets better with practice.
20 2025-12-20 1h:58m 142 2348 Test went well today.
21 2025-12-21 1h:59m 122 2470 Terrible test today. Only 7/11. Annoying because the probability question was the only one I struggled with. The rest were easy but I needed more time. But I guess testing for fluidity is part of the point.
22 2025-12-22 1h:48m 131 2601 I had a retest today because yesterdays went badly. But it went well this time.
23 2025-12-23 2h:07m 101 2702 11/13 in todays test. Forgetting some stuff. Todays lessons were INCREDIBLY tedious.
24 2025-12-24 1h:45m 127 2829 Good test today. I guessed one so I really shouldn't have gotten those bonus xp.
25 2025-12-25 2h:09m 125 2954 Easy test today. Merry Christmas! :D
26 2025-12-26 1h:56m 144 3098 Bad test today. 8/12. 2 very silly mistakes. I had some issues visualising exponential functions. But scored perfectly in the retest after review.
27 2025-12-27 2h:05m 149 3247 Easy test today.
28 2025-12-28 2h:13m 143 3390 Test went well today though I found it a bit hard.
29 2025-12-29 1h:49m 133 3523 Good test but I again found it a bit hard.
30 2025-12-30 1h:54m 137 3660 12/14 in the test today. One was a rounding error facepalm.
31 2025-12-31 3h:10m 170 3830 7/10 in todays test. 2 super silly mistakes. 9/10 in the retest. Another silly mistake. Learnt a lot of cool stuff today like dividing polynomials using long division.
32 2026-01-01 2h:00m 125 3955 Good test today though it was a bit difficult. The rational roots theorem was new to me.
33 2026-01-02 2h:18m 122 4077 9/10 in the test today. Read a graph wrong.
34 2026-01-03 2h:12m 137 4214 Good test today.
35 2026-01-04 2h:18m 156 4370 Good test today. Harder than normal questions but I was able to recall old stuff.
36 2026-01-05 2h:13m 123 4493 9/10 in the test. Completely forgot how the rational roots theorem worked. Finally started to learn differentiation and what it means and how it works. I'm starting to appreciate all the continuous drilling of concepts which led up to this.
37 2026-01-06 1h:56m 122 4615 9/10 in the test. I was unsure of an approach. I like how the system catches such stuff and reviews them.
38 2026-01-07 2h:02m 118 4733 Learnt the chain rule. But I didn't really understand the derivation of the rule. Similarly the derivation of rule for the derivative of exponential functions wasn't explained properly and skipped some steps in the proof. Will learn outside the platform. I'm also starting to forget stuff. eg. I forgot the definition of odd vs even functions.
39 2026-01-08 2h:20m 138 4871 7/8 in the test. Silly geometry mistake. The lessons are definitely getting harder.
40 2026-01-09 2h:02m 126 4997 Good test today.
41 2026-01-10 2h:24m 125 5122 11/12 in the test today. Completely forgot the covariance formula. Even the other questions were a bit rough. Very tedious and annoying lessons today as well.
42 2026-01-11 1h:40m 119 5241 8/9 in the test today. Rounding error.
