<p>o yeah, equating means the experimental section</p>

<p>angelflower im postitive that the circle question was in section 6. So if section 6 is the equating, i guess it wont count...</p>

11

<p>wait, how does the scoring work as far as leaving something blank, is that the better way to go, or is it better to guess?</p>

12

<p>the Princeton Review did statistical analysis about it. guessing (even blindly) is more likely to give you a higher score than leaving blank. the penalty is such (add number wrong, divide by 4, subtract the whole number of what u get from raw score) that guessing helps more than hurts.</p>
