It is a total joke. Don't worry about it. One of the questions LITERALLY was something like 4*x=8 What does x equal....

I think I *HAD* to take the test or else they wouldn't let me register.

I never showed up at all and I'm still in school.

I think all students in the University of Missouri system are required to take it before starting their juniour year of school. It took about an hour and a half I think and they give you soda and cookies. Easy test, plus the grade doesn't actually matter.

Quit bitching. It's the sophmore test. Everyone had to take it. Suck it up, take the fucking test and get the $5 coupon.

I must have had it easy or something.

6 + x = 6
What is X?

You got a coupon? I didn't get jack! They just told me that I had to take it or I couldn't register for classes. I took so much of that free soda home...

Yea I had the same problem. Also, is it bad that everyone viewed the math/science sections as a easy break from the English sections?

No, wasn't there a bunch of mundane crap about authors you've never heard of before? But maybe that was the CBASE.

Also, do we ever get to find out what our scores are?

Hey I took that test back in the day. I don't think I've ever been more hungover than I was during that thing.

The whole thing was cake. English, math, all of it. It was just an easy version of the ACT that didn't count anything for you.

It was stupid how simple it was.
