Mistakes(venting)

[Fredfredburger]

Anybody else kind of mad of all of Larry White's mistakes on the test this year?

I mean I understand like 1 or 2 mistakes for the entire year, but 1 or 2 a test is just not cool.

I could have had a 352 in region, and I think my team would have made it to state with that(we were only 8 points off, though we would lose the tiebreaker). How many times do they proof these things before they come out, this is just inexcusable.

I think I was misunderstood, I was referring to Larry White's mistakes, the ones he notes on , although I do have plenty of the other kind too.

Yes, the mistakes are stacking up and can really influence the scores. I really hope he doesn't have any mistakes on State this year. Even though the questions are omitted, it turns the contest unfair. Some people will not even try to solve the problem, so they don't even have to worry about it. Others will attempt it, realize they don't have an answer, and try to come back to it later if they have time. Some people are very determined and will try to solve the problem over and over again, possibly missing out on several minutes of valuable time. I know I wasted a couple minutes on #58 at Region. Unfortunately, he can't catch all of his mistakes at all times.

At State, I guess you can only hope for the best!

Oh... well if you mean mistakes on tests - well idk... I just know that too many questions are considered to have multiple answers or are wrong questions... well that happens... idk why though... I mean I think the tests are reviewed - are they not - before given out?

Well anyways. It really doesn't matter cuz we'll all be graded the same way... even with those mistakes... although I would love to say I got a higher score if I got that question right! :P
