ASTB in the Morning

[navytyger]

Hey.

I'm taking the exam in the morning. Any last minute suggestions/comments?

Get plenty of sleep and eat a good (but not huge) breakfast! Are you taking the computer or the paper test?

 

[knigry01]

know the A + B = C so C + D = ?. I think there are several like this on the test. Actually, if someone has a problem like this, could you put how to solve it on here. I'm retaking in a couple days and am not sure on this type.

Well,

I took the old version back in the summer of 2002, but I suspect that this advice still holds true. A) Don't freak out about it, a decent high school education will set you up for success. B) Work fast. Don't get wrapped around the axle if you don't know a question. I think that too many people spend too much time on the spatial orientation questions. Work through the section answering the ones that you can figure out rapidly, then go back and take acrack at the more difficult questions.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys.

I think the equation is A squared + B sq = C sq

Thanks guys.

I think the equation is A squared + B sq = C sq

That's the pythagorian theorem, which is a useful theorem to know. But I think what he was talking about was the ability to reason out: "if A + B = C, and if D - C = A, then what must be true?

A) B < C
B) D > B
C) C = B
D) I quit this F***ing Test!"

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to DanielSon again.

But my rep dont mean #$&*!

But my rep dont mean #$&*!

That's odd... I thougt that with two green boxes you would at least give out something... maybe its a time-on-board-issue too.

WOW I've got TWO GREEN BOXES... Ive waited for this day! Thanks for pointing that out eddie!

"That's the pythagorian theorem, which is a useful theorem to know. But I think what he was talking about was the ability to reason out: "if A + B = C, and if D - C = A, then what must be true?"

Yeah, this type of question took me WAY to long the first time. Anybody want to let me in on the quickest way through these?

 

[PU Grad]

A+B=C
D-C=A

So using C=A+B into second equation
D-(A+B)=A
so
D=2A+B
So if A>0
then
D>B

Speaking of reputation, what's the deal with that? Last December someone I guess gave me "bad" reputation because he said he didn't like my signiture so now my post count won't go past 35!! :icon_tong

 

[Jameski]

Now, of course, when I say something, it goes up to 37!! Kobyra, thanks for the explanation of that equation...I think I got it when I took the test but it took me way too long!
