If you choose C for all answers, that gets you a 6 or so.

Read to your kids. Teach them how to think. If that does not work, just mark C and occasional D.

It takes a special kind of idiot to keep putting in C for a true-false section.

You want to know the truly sad thing about that?

A 12 gives you nearly a 100% shot of getting in to a college if you apply to at least 4. The calculator isn't perfect, but someone will take your money to go to college.

Have they screwed with the scoring like the SAT did a couple decades ago? Mine was high enough that I didn't have to do much GPA wise to get certified by the clearinghouse.

My daughter made a 19 on it in 7th grade. Sin made 17 in 7th grade.


My university updated their data system and I can see I made a 23 in 7th grade but they don't have my much higher score from circa 2000. Apparently the 7th grade score checked the box so that is the one they have on record... I was in the 30's the second time after high school...

You call your daughter Jesus?

Because you like the name?

I think I’d do worse today because of math. I remember it being a lot of geometry and I don’t really remember most of those formulas

I’ve recently completed the entire calculus sequence plus differential equations so I’d like to take the math part and see how bad I’d love it tenderly.

Cant be as bad as what they did to the MCAT. When I took that (I ultimately decided not to go to med school), the target score was at least 30.

Now, the target score is 509. Go figure that one out.

In high school there was a guy in my class that just went down the list and shaded the circles randomly. The proctor say what he was doing and just lost it. Everyone just stopped taking the test and the timing was off.. I can't remember how they fixed the time.. The guy's nickname was Melvin.. So that should tell you all you need to know..

Subtle, “I finished Calculus & DE” brag noted.

Did you, like me and the rest of the OT, make straight As on them all?

You ain’t truly OT-Calculus certified until you’ve solved a couple of PDEs.

Dyslexia card now played. Gets you more time for test. Ask some of them 30+ scorers how to play the game. They know.

My ex made a 19. Ended up with a masters degree, straight A, through out college . In some of the higher chemistry courses she never made lower than 100. Classmates hated her because in two of those courses the next highest grade was in the low 90s and the professors graded on a curve

We homeschooled our oldest son and he made a 30. I'll be honest, I was shocked because we put fort minimal effort and so did he. Guess he was just smart.
