Points to Avoid when planning your careerMany students pass out of school, go to college, and more than a year into it, opt
out of their courses. Theyd realize they were either not interested in what they
were studying, or that their courses were too complex for them!
The result the complete waste of a vital year, and, more importantly, more
confusion about what to study thence!

but making a career choice on that is unwise. Will you be able to cope with
maths at the college level? Does a career in maths even interest you?
So many questions can be answered by taking an aptitude test. It has
answers that will give you an accurate idea of your interests and
strengths.
Many time the results may surprise you, because what you had planned foryourself and what the test shows can be quite different.
But it is important because it removes the guess work out of theequation
