I am interested in taking medical coding and some type of office basics when I get done with my GED. I found a course that deals with both, therefore, I won't have to dual enroll.

scroll down to diplomas and click business office technology.

I am thinking of taking this one ,once I have an interview with the teacher, and specializing in the medical office. How hard do you reckon the business math is. I am decent in decimals, fractions, percents and probability but a bit shakey on intergers, perimeter area and such. Would this business math be to hard for me?

Also anyone have any idea what business English is all about?

I don't think it would be very difficult at all. That's basically what I did when I was young and I graduated with a 93% average in 15 subjects. My maths were the easiest - I got 98% on those.

Business English is a piece of cake.

Besides, some folks here have been helping Algebrapro with his homework so I'm sure they wouldn't mind helping you too.

You'll be fine. The whole point is to learn it - they don't expect you to be an expert before going in - if you did, you wouldn't be doing the course!

I've had to do statistics, accounting and economics in the degree that I'm currently doing - things I have never done before, and I haven't done maths since high school over 10 years ago, and it was hard, but fine. If you have troubles, just ask for help - the teachers are very responsive if you show an interest and say you need some explained better.

But, I don't think is would be too difficult. Business math, I would guess, would be more like balancing your check book kind of thing, rather than the math involved building a skyscraper. I don't think too many "weird" things are thrown in. In fact, I just remembered a friend of mine stated the medical secretary course and probably took that class. If I can get in touch with her tonight, I'll find out for sure and try to give you a better idea of what it's like.
