Luck or Skill

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>On the April exam I missed 12 questions and omitted 2 on the Math portion.</p>

<p>I just took an online CollegeBoard SAT test. I missed 5 and omitted 0.</p>

<p>Am I naturally getting better or am I getting lucky that I can answer the questions presented?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

2

<p>What kind of question is that?
Well, maybe you got lucky. IDK
Maybe your getting better.
Someone could perform a Stat test on this to prove significance, but I'm too lazy to.</p>

<p>The sad thing is that I know what a significance test is (p-value)....I was in Stats, but still! :)</p>

4

<p>Neither... it's KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE (okay, maybe we can call it skill) ... a difference of 9 questions is a pretty big margin for luck if you ask me.</p>

5

<p>i'd say you improved . good job .</p>

<p>the collegeboard practice test online isn't right. i hit 690 on the math and ended up with a 790 on the real thing.</p>

<p>I'd say both. Not that I doubt your improvement was not wholly from your diligent and consistent hard work, but it's just that it seems like too big of an improvement to be skill alone. </p>

<p>So maybe you took a practice test that was easier or somehow easier to YOU, and you also had great concentration, and you mastered some new skills since the your April test. </p>

<p>But anyhow, don't let my opinions in any way take away from your rejoicing!
An improvement is an improvement.... no matter how you do it (well don't cheat lol).</p>

<p>Good luck on your next test.</p>
