Re: Compute This B
What did you guys think of the nationals test?
We thought we failed and then we guessed for the first question (or second or something) entirely.
Data wasn't too hard to find at all.

Re: Compute This B
The test was relatively easy; much easier than last year by far.
My partner and I finished with about a minute or two to spare. The data was easy to find; we found it a minute into the event. The questions took a much longer time, and we weren't sure if we found the exact answer for all of them.

Re: Compute This B
Unfortunately, we practiced using older versions of Microsoft Office, so we barely finished the graphical problem and left several things off. Over all, I thought we did okay (26th).

Re: Compute This B
We spent way too much time on the graph, and then had not much left for the short answer. We got the first 3-ish completely, and then half of the 4th question and a url. I didn't think it was that hard, we just way underestimated the amount of time needed for the short answer.

Re: Compute This B
The test in my opinion was pretty easy, however you did need to go quickly. We got the graph and the first 3 questions... we might've gone faster if we had more experience with 2010 or whatever its called.
I think maybe that the answers were harder to find for other people? Typically me and my partner aren't that good, but we still got 12th.

And yeah, we got a heads up from last year that time was of essence so we went in there and went as fast as we could. I'm surprised they only gave us 40 minutes but I guess that's how it usually is. At most tournaments we got 50...but whatever.
So..Metric Mastery next year..

The test was easy, except for the fact that my partner forgot to show up, he came midway into the test
