I got a 760 in January for missing one question. Just because I forgot to divide by two...8(

And I feel like I made a similar mistake again...

For the probability grid in (number of sour balls) did you get some weird decimal? like .409

Reckie · 10-09-2012, 12:39 PM

Yes I got .409, it was 45/110 or something. Only question is will they accept the way I marked it on the fill-in.

I reduced to 9/22, which fit in the answer box. I assume they accept the decimal .409 or 9/22, how did you fill it in?

Why wouldn't they allow it? You're allowed to use decimals.

Reckie · 10-09-2012, 04:29 PM

I don't remember exactly how I filled it in. My calc came up with .40909, and I think I either put .409 or .410.

Niquii77 · 10-09-2012, 04:33 PM

If you put .409 that's good, but .40909 does not round to .410 (if you're going by three decimal points [sig fig wise])

Guys what do you think a raw score of 49 would get me? 700?

Reckie · 10-09-2012, 04:35 PM

And that is why I am scared.

Feeling more confident about my score every day though. Got maybe 1-2 wrong(maybe 6, who knows) / 3 omits.

640-700ish including my idiotic mistakes.

@Ted, right around 700 yes.

HaveYouMetTed · 10-09-2012, 04:43 PM

@Reckie do you think there is any way it could be a 710? Or has this Math been viewed as the easier of the year causing the curve to be harsh?...

Reckie · 10-09-2012, 04:49 PM

My last post failed? or it'll randomly pop up 15 minutes from now..

anyway, a summed up me being angry version of what I wrote last time = 690-730, the VERY hard tests were 720-730, and this was a pretty easy one. I would guess 700-710 but if you're really unlucky a 690.
