The first one. And agreed that it's a joke. I haven't looked at the second one, but if I get around to it sometime I might. It would be interesting to see what it scores me as.

>770 math! Whooeee! That's damn near perfect.

It's one question wrong. Interestingly enough, one wrong could also give you a 780 because of the fucked up way the SAT is scored. And this was off the same SAT scale that you took yours on.

About two or three years later they adjusted the median to be exactly 400 on each part (where before it was like 360 or something). So now everyone scores just a bit higher.

Actually, there isn't that much math in computer science. Sure you have to take a year of calculus and course on linear algebra (i.e. matrices) but that's about it.

I can understand the time thing. I'm working 10 hours a week overtime right now (paid, fortunately), and having no family, I still feel like I lose a lot of free time.

Thank you.
