Compute This B

They aren't supposed to give you anything overly complex but just in case I would know how to graph multiple lines, 2 y-axes and stuff like that just in case.

Then there's equations, like if they give you a chart and ask you to find the average of some numbers or the sum of them or any of those basic operations.

Might wanna learn also about the functions.

Sometimes Excel isn't so user-friendly. It takes some practice to get what you want.

...and you'd wanna familiarize yourself with different versions of Excel, not that they're that much different...and Macs/Windows...if you can...

Though, it should be noted that they're supposed to tell you which they're going to have but still be familiar with both in case of the sadly not too unlikely event that they forget or that you find out really late.
Also, I would argue that they're radically different 2000/2003 vs 2007 chart wizard vs basically figuring things about through insert chart. I know it took me a long time to figure out 2007

It's easy to make mistakes, especially with some graphs on Excel. At our states, we printed off our graph three times; each of the first two times we realized we'd forgotten a title or didn't label an axis. So make sure you know how to put EVERYTHING into your graph on Excel. On 2003 and 2007

Yes, definitely.

yeah, I had 2007 at my last competition, and it took a few to insert the chart and edit it and all.

Does anybody have any practice tests for compute this
