What the F --

I just scanned through this "college admission test review" book and I found the questions there to be deathly terrifying, especially the ones concerning mathematics. I mean, never in nine years have I encountered questions that are as difficult as these. Maybe it because teachers have been too careless and thinks all the 400 pages they skip in the math textbooks aren't worth crap and just skip it anyway. And now their students are faced with a barrage of mathematical problems that we have to solve in only 90 minutes.

On the bright side, I think most of the problems of Math are just problem solving, and it only requires determination and complete logical thought. I am thankful that I am blessed with logical thinking unlike 70% of the population.

Another good part is, the English questions are simply easy, or as Duke Nukem would say, "Yeah, Piece of Cake". The English proficiency hurdles are simply finding errors in sentences/paragraphs, finding the main ideas in paragraphs, reading comprehension, and lastly, writing an essay. However every chapter of the English test is only alloted 5-10 minutes, so I think they're encouraging us to skim, not to read and understand.

The science questions are probably just a crossbreed of English and Math. A few Math and logical problems attatched to it, so, no need to worry too much about it.

But OMGWTFBBQIFKINGHATEMATH! I wish we can have 'Portable nerds' that just needs water and instantly, we get a tutor for the exams.
