Math Anxiety

As always, Slack is the answer.
Math anxiety -- feelings of dread and fear and avoiding math -- can sap the brain's limited amount of working capacity, a resource needed to compute difficult math problems, said Mark Ashcroft, a psychologist at the University of Nevada Los Vegas who studies the problem.

Never was a problem for me. I scored in the 99th percentile on the math portion of the SAT.

I only made 97th percentile on verbal. Obviously, I still beat out this writer.
