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

Look on the Test Exchange.

Regionals at GVSU was EASY.

The compute this question was kinda confusing though.

How about in other states?

so wait...it was easy but it was hard?
What was the question?

You can never know whether the test will be easy or hard.

That's true for any event. At state this year (Compute This) I was expecting something really obscure, but most of the information I found on my first search. Hope for something easy, but prepare for something hard.

How was the PA state test?
