good luck!

i'm taking the math test tomorrow morning. i've been studying a good 4 hours a day for the past 2 months or so. i'm shooting for at least a 700 out of 990, but of course i'd like to get in the 900's.

i'll post again here after i've finished it and taken a nap.

Took the comp sci subject test today. Pretty much the most esoteric piece of schlock I've ever taken even. Skipped 1/6th of the questions.

so i took the math test today.

ugh. did mediocre. skipped a bunch of questions cause i just didn't have the time. i'm a pretty slow test taker i guess.

i think i'm gonna have to look at some programs that don't require the subject test. i don't think i'll have an amazing score.

What effect does skipping questions have on your overall score?

[frankdux]

each correct answer = +1

each unanswered question = 0

each wrong answer = -.25

so basically you are punished for randomly guessing. but since each question has 5 choices, if you can eliminate 2 of those choices then its actually worth it to guess. and the test instructions explain this as well.
