Maybe we should set this up in terms of raw score cuz -3 problems is not the same as -3 raw

That's an injustice... only 1 wrong and 770... it ruined my score... The wrong one was from statics... I think it's a complex graph question... answers were 10x+20, 2x+5, etc. What was the real answer?

1 wrong, 0 omit, 770, I missed the "hard statistics" question... not sure what it was.

There was a problem about how many candies were (un)wrapped. Wouldn't that come under Stats?
I thought I got it wrong (I put in 20 instead of 0, I think) but my score report only shows one error in "NUMBER & OPERATIONS" and one in "ALGEBRA & FUNCTIONS" (both hard). Would it be in one of these, or did I get that question right?

The scatterplot one where you had to find the line of best fit was 5x + 20. The choices with a y-intercept of 0 were completely off. 2x + 20 was too low, and 10x + 20 was too high.

The candies was 0.
