Re: Compute This B
What did you all think of the Compute This test? I found 4 of the 5 short answer questions and half of the graph. Labeled the axis and chart, and still ended up at 25th place

Re: Compute This B
The graph was fairly easy in my opinion, and we got that out of the way pretty early. We got 3 and 1/2 of the short answer questions. We also labeled the axis, chart, etc. I got 24th place XDtornado guy wrote:What did you all think of the Compute This test? I found 4 of the 5 short answer questions and half of the graph.

Re: Compute This B
Haha just one place above you XD I wish we could get the event back though, just to see what we got wrong. My partner and I thought we might do just a tad better than 24th.

Hurricane intensity, we found the data in the same place as we found the data for starshines test

Re: Compute This B
We completely messed up the graph and got maybe 4 short answer questions.....but we got 13th, which makes no sense to me at all....i guess we did something right! We labeled the axes properly, but we only found half the data, and since we didn't have enough time to find the rest, we moved on to the short answer questions. Maybe it was because we got most of the short answers right? Idk.

Did anyone notice that they gave us 8 minutes less than we are allowed?

Re: Compute This B
Hmm that's interesting.. Like I said earlier we got 4 of the 5 short answer and half of the graph and got 25th.. Maybe we goofed on a short answer question or got part of the graph wrongbam wrote:We completely messed up the graph and got maybe 4 short answer questions.....but we got 13th, which makes no sense to me at all....i guess we did something right!

Re: Compute This B
I had the graph completely finished, but we only finished 2.5 questions (question 5 was 2-part). We ended up getting 23rd place; an increase in last years 59th place
They said that they gave us 40 minutes, 10 to get started. At state we got an hour, so I am thoroughly confused at the time we get in the eventstarshine wrote:I saw the event and I went, "... this is similar to mine, isn't it.
