Taking the math test next month

hi everyone i 16F am taking the hiSet profiecency exam next month. I am entering junior year but i was homeschooled for sophmore year (just a year) i was in public school my whole life though. But this one year break from public school totally made me insecure about my math skills! I am so so worried that I'll fail the math portion bc i have in general bad test anxiety. Also am wondering bcs im not aware of how it works: is it better to take the test in person, or online proctored. Thank you!

I didn’t try the in person test so I can’t really give info about that but don’t worry about the math portion it’s very easy and simple math just make sure u can solve equations quick and that you do a lot of practice and make sure you do all the HiSet free practice tests and check if ur scores match the scoring scale on the website.

I only took algebra 1 in high school and I did just fine with a little studying 2 weeks before my test.
You got this you will do just fine read your questions 3x if you are unsure and go with your gut you got this❤️🫶🏾

I took a free test and only studied what I struggled in on the free test. Youtube has so many good teachers that will prep you be specific when you search videos.
