Old Region Calculator Tests

[007math]

Just wondering, I've taken a few old tests from 2007-2009 and they just seem really easy (as in I'm making personal record scores). I have yet to take a bit more current ones (2010-2011), but I wanted to know if this was how many of you also felt? That way I can actually tell whether I am improving or just taking easier tests...

Yup, they're easier, especially if you go to the older ones like in '05-'07.

[007math]

Aww....well, I better tell my team that so they don't get their hopes up. Well, mainly so I don't get my hopes up :(

[BlasianAsian]

....why would the regional tests be easier? Shouldn't it be "muy dificil"?

[007math]

Older ones.

I don't know the pattern with calculator, but I've noticed that mathematics tests have certainly gotten harder over the years.

[FabensMath]

Math gets harder as you advance, calculator doesn't. And no, i don't mean that that your scores indicate only that the test is easy, they are easier but it's only a slight difference.

:/ this is bad news.
I've been getting record scores as well. I was hoping those were the hardest tests in history, so I could say that I got my record scores on the hardest tests in history.
Unfortunately, my scores aren't so extraordinary then. However, I don't have the study guide for that year in the bank, so my score should actually be a bit higher.

[BlasianAsian]

So...what you're saying is you're disappointed that your scores are higher....?

...

OK...

[le cool cat]

well. i think that as you advance on from district to region to state, the number cruncher stay relatively constant in difficulty. i mean how can you make it harder besides making them longer? i think the word problems and geometry problems get harder as you go though.

Yeah...
