We've all heard that Math requires practice. What other suggestion do you have?

Relate math to other fields for better insight.. and stop using a calculator for (simple) calculations! One of my acquaintances is a mathematics teacher and all of his students become good at math thanks to him. You know why? He doesn't let them use a calculator.

Things that helped me pass my Statistics 101 class at university (granted, it's not pure math but it uses math):

- get a private tutor. They are the best!
- every day (!), have in-depth, hour-long discussions with your friends about mathematics. 60% of your day should involve the study of mathematics! Remember, you need to keep this up for months on end!
- use every possible educational resource on the internet. I found a good stats professor on Youtube.
- have your tutor explain material you struggle with, have him have you work out each problem on your own until you get it right and you fully understand it.
- discuss mathematics with everyone you know, even in (specialized) chats, forums, everything! Friends, family, everyone!
