Test Preparation

<p>Who am I to talk? I'm not no math genius ... </p>

<p>Judge for yourself. Kaplan, "HIGHER SCORE GUARANTEED"</p>

<p>What’s supposed to be wrong?</p>

<p>They meant subtracting a negative turns into adding a positive?</p>

3

<p>Not the best analogy.</p>

4

<p>Well, at least 1/2 people understand math here.</p>

5

<p>So apparently -8±8 =+16</p>

6

<p>^Yeah, let’s try that on the PSAT, shall we?</p>

7

<p>I think the book meant two negative signs. Anyways, you get the point. If a person after reading that paragraph actually starts thinking that -8 + -8 = 16 then he/she has much bigger problems than trying to get a good score on the PSAT.</p>

8

<p>^lmao. </p>

<p>I think they meant 8–5= 8+5
I could see how it’s confusing though.</p>
