Same here - I thought for sure it was my experimental section (had it second) because it just seemed too easy. And I'm only a 150's pt scorer.zworykin wrote:I saw how limited the possibilities were right off the bat and drew out all the possible scenarios. Not my normal approach, but it worked well.
I'm sorry to hear that man. You'd be better off sticking with the order they gave you.Philipsssssss wrote:^ Good for you guys.
I skipped to the intern's, drew out all the possibilities...then realized half way down i am having too many 'right answers', 'realized' i did something wrong, redrew the possibilities, went back to the questions, still saw something is not right...law and behold...i misread a F&^%$ rule about the 2 variables (G,L). Ok...5 min called... my brain leaked into my underwear...
mulch = all guess (but one)
interns = all guess
and from this point....my test went on just 'wonderful'...
What score are you going for? If you are trying for 170+ definatly cancel.Philipsssssss wrote:If you had my experience, would you cancel the score?

You and I had the exact same outlook after the test. I called my friend who took it in Youngstown, and he ended up having the same setup as me (LG-LR-LG-LR-RC). This was his first time taking it, and he asked, "How do you know which one was experimental?" I blatantly told him that there was no way the second one was the real thing, because it was just too easy.angiej wrote:Same here - I thought for sure it was my experimental section (had it second) because it just seemed too easy.

Pretty sure it was in the single digits.Pahnda wrote:Why thank you!Ragged wrote:thats an uber-nerb thing to sayPahnda wrote:I'm so happy I come from an electrical engineering background with Japanese language thrown in... I kept picturing square wave edges like intonation markings for the cleaning
But when you think of that game, it was VERY restrictive to where you could mulch your three times... Like low dozens of possibilities restrictive, not low single digits.
Thinking about it for a minute, it seems like it would have been very single-digit-ish. Just trying to enumerate the possibilities in my head again and even a dozen does sound like too high an estimate. The placement restriction was lovely, wasn't it?d34dluk3 wrote:Pretty sure it was in the single digits.Pahnda wrote:Why thank you!Ragged wrote:thats an uber-nerb thing to sayPahnda wrote:I'm so happy I come from an electrical engineering background with Japanese language thrown in...

Weren't you the one bragging about how easy the dinos game was last week? That you couldn't understand why us June '09 test-takers were complaing so much?Philipsssssss wrote:^ Good for you guys.

Definitely, just took a stab at estimating # of permutations without a *certain* condition and it would be more in the 20s-30s I think. With the condition, it was more like 5-10.Pahnda wrote:Thinking about it for a minute, it seems like it would have been very single-digit-ish.

Just because your nerves get the better of you (they get the better of me too) doesn't mean the question is hard. If you can easily do it in your bedroom/library then it's not that the question is difficult, just that you can't control your nerves.romothesavior wrote:Weren't you the one bragging about how easy the dinos game was last week?

Well, it ain't so easy come test day, now is it? The nerves, the stress, the knowledge that this is for real... its a little different than the library or your bedroom.
Is there a reason you say that? My thinking has been that, if I'm going to read and symbolize the rules, make inferences, and draw a diagram, I'm going to skip the five-question game and begin with the ones with 6-7 questions. Theoretically, that should get the most bang for the couple of minutes of reading/diagramming.Ragged wrote: I'm sorry to hear that man. You'd be better off sticking with the order they gave you.
Then I say cancel. Low 150s is horrible even if followed by a strong score. 2 cancels looks way better.Philipsssssss wrote:Ragged wrote:I'm sorry to hear that man. You'd be better off sticking with the order they gave you.Philipsssssss wrote:^ Good for you guys.

I am going for high 160's. I want to be realistic, hit as high as i can.
But low 150?
Is a low 150 worse then having 2 cancelations and then a high score?
I know this is not my level. I just gave up. Plus i was sick/tried to keep coughing to myself, really hard to do.
No real reason. I was saying that in that particular case it would have been better. Just stating the obvious. In fact when I took Jun 09 PT I would have been better served doing the third game (dinos) last. I generally don't do it cuz I always plan to finish the whole section.IBThatGuy wrote:Is there a reason you say that?

But, if there's a reason to go in order, I'd be interested to know it.
