Test Preparation
161

<p>i put taut</p>

162

<p>i put pina colada</p>

163

<p>I think the hardest test was the science, some of the passages were just to complicated for spending like 6 minutes on them. (ie blood and clouds)</p>

<p>On the math anyone remember something about a formula for counting or something? I think I quessed on that.</p>

164

<p>it was the last one i believe.</p>

165

<p>No, it was in the 40-50s I think. It should 2 formulas with numbers, and the answers had variables.</p>

166

<p>not the (1 + 2 + 3...c)^2 one?</p>

167

<p>GOD...I just found out i made the stupidest mistake of my life on the math part on that stupid medicine one - i put ten hours when i knew that they would both be taken at 7 pm. so in other words, i was stupid to think that there are ten hours between 7 am and 7 pm. how do people deal with these moments?</p>

168

<p>shoot ourselves?</p>

169

<p>i think i just might...</p>

<p>(i hope you're just joking)</p>

170

<p>Unfortunately He's Not.</p>

<p>I had two such moments on the PSAT, when a) I decided to read 'y-axis' as 'x-axis', and b) when I decided to adhere to the principle of 'Hey! Let's find the perimeter of a equilateral triangle by finding one side length and forgetting to multiply by three!'</p>

<p>The solution is to vent your anger, because the world is against you. They will never understand. Bastards. (Hint: the garbage can in the corner usually works :D)</p>

172

<p>i put the (1 + 2 + 3 ... + c)^2 for that one</p>

173

<p>that helped :)</p>

174

<p>Fruita...I had a feeling it would.</p>

175

<p>if you check out this site</p>

<p><a href="http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/index.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/index.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>one of their proofs without words (blue box at bottom left) shows the (1 + 2 + 3... + c)^2 problem
it cycles them randomly but there are only about 5 total</p>

176

<p>so we can officially discuss now?</p>

177

<p>it would appear so</p>

178

<p>Does anyone else besides me barely remember a thing from the test?</p>

179

<p>sorry i'm a bit paranoid.</p>

<p>okay then. For the 7 to 7 one I had to make a chart! I couldn't figure it out until I came back to it and made my pretty chart</p>

180

<p>I can barely remeber anything too! I can't only remember 1 reading passage</p>
