electronic math stuff

[Archangel]

This is really off-topic. I have a faint hope at a job promotion. I've already failed the test but so have recent graduates of university level electical engineering. The last time I did this kind of stuff was about, oh thirty years ago, and a little bit about 15 years ago.
The union may insist on a retest, or something. They are monitoring it.

Here's what I need. I did the basic math okay but got lost on putting the whole thing together. I'm looking for a web-site that would have electric math exercises so I could review and prepare. (Luck is preparation meeting opportunity.) There would need to be questions on everything: Ohm's law formula, resistors, capacitators, diodes, AC/DC (resist the urge), gates, the works.

If you can help, thanks.

Archangel - I don't know how complicated you want to get, but for general overview check out http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html
Good Luck

There's a lot involved with math for electronice: Ohms law, Formulas for reesistance. Trig, Imaginary numbers, non Euclidean Geometry, and quite a bit more. However, one thing I can tell you after nearly 25 years experience working with industrial instrumentation and electronics is after you get by the test, you generally use very little of it.

I know that. Shocking, isn't it?

Ruanaidh's link is very cool for the info, thanks. I'm not too bad with that, it's the math that was a problem. The Ohm's law formula first stages went well but to apply the answer into other parts of the question confounded me.
There's a faint hope of a retest. There's a better chance of the union encouraging the dep't to use their discretion. Just have to wait and see how the other testers do.

I used about.com to study for my Earth Space Science test

I passed. Yay! Now I can teach middle school (in case you haven't noticed I am being sarcastic!)
