  1. How did you do? Did you get #14 correct? Tricky wording. How about #30? Did you just count the numbers that are perfect squares + 1 (14) or did you remember to filter out only the prime numbers from this list (6)? Did you get #40 correct? There are 5 x 6 = 30 combinations of even factors. Ask a question if you need help on these or any other problems from this problem set.

    1. I was wondering If I could have some tutoring advice. It’s already November and I have gotten c’s on three out of four problems sets. In all honesty, do I still even have a chance of getting into the school? Any advice for how I could improve on word problems and tricky wordings?

      1. My first advice is to not pay attention to the grades. They do not represent the same level of performance as grades in school and they should not discourage you in the least! You will not get a grade so that is the least useful measure of performance in my opinion and I suspect those grades will change in the future anyway. I see you are scoring about 30 out of 40 on problem sets. That is a fine position for right now. YES you have a chance and perhaps a good chance with practice. Keep motivated. I would add some practice exams to your program. I see you have not attempted any. If you really want the best possible training then you may want to consider a tutoring course. It is more money, but your annual subscription is deducted from the price and at $99.95 (~$5 per hour) it is the best training available for the math and essay sections.

        1. Thank you for your encouragement! I guess I’m just a little nervous that January and the exam coming up so quickly :). This program, for me at least, has been extremely helpful in learning and reviewing useful materials and much better, from what I heard at least, than spending thousands on a tutoring place. I do not think tutoring would be necessary(At least not right now) however, I will continue to practice and use the sites resources.

    1. Hi Samuel,

      On Math PS 04 the answer shown is not 2. It is 7AM. The only question with the answer 2 on that PS is #36 and that is correct. Are you perhaps referring to a problem on a different exam or PS? I checked the Sample PS 04 and the Math Exam 04, but #4 for each is not what you seem to be referring to. Let us know.

      1. I think he meant #27. I got it wrong too because if pi times r^2=pi^2, then r=sqrtpi and the diameter would be 2sqrtpi. Maybe a variable didn’t show up?…

  5. I have a question for Problem set 04 number 27. If the circle’s area is pi(squared), would that mean that the radius is 1 since the area for a circle is pi*r squared. If so, that would mean that the diameter could be 2.

    1. Close, but not quite. The area of this particular circle is pi^2 or pi x pi, but in general the area of a circle is pi x radius^2. In that case, pi = radius^2. Take the square root of both sides of the equation to get radius = sqrt(pi). The diameter is twice the radius length which should be 2 x sqrt(pi).
