    ^^^ It's shit questions like that. Not only am I not good at math, but I panic very very very very very quickly, especially because we're only given a minute per question.

    Probably just easier to link the damn site: http://www.actstudent.org/sampletest/math/math_01.html
    Ok, just started it

    That question you posted is easy to solve, you just need to break it down to what it really says:
    x=y-3
    y=1/2*z
    z=38
    What is x?

    They usually try to distract you with long stories like that, while the question is actually a simple one.

    I always love Maths questions like that.

    12/12 correct answers, though 9 was a semi-guess. I just chose the one closest to the opposite corner

    -edit- Oh, there are more questions. Don't want..

    I'd give you an inch, you'd take me a mile, your tail wagging happily all the while.

    Oh I didn't see more maths questions! I also got 12/12. ^_^ Though I did know the answer to question 9. Since the 2 short lines are in parallel , the line connecting them means that the angle it make must be 180 degrees. 180-70=110

    Oh geometry. How I missed you. <3

    I forgot a lot of things. I learned math 3 levels higher than I currently get in my study.
    I used to get all that stuff, now it doesn't really go any further than "you flip a coin 3 times, what's the chance for 3x heads" -_-

    I often post from my mobile device, typos in my posts are 99% likely to be because of that.
    All I would ever want and need is a hug.

    Oh. Well, I freak out when they tell you that you only have a minute and I just read the question and if I can't figure it out instantly, I usually just panic and answer C. I remember finishing the math section with something like 20 minutes to spare. Math was the only section of the test I got below average on, and reading was the only one that I did better than average on.

    Thank you, Snow ^-^

    Also, it's Friday!
