In the Math part you couldn't use scratch paper (you could use the test sheet); it was hard to figure out the problems. didn't think there was enough time to do the math section." Amy Greenlief: "I thought the verbal part was hard, but the math was pretty easy. I did pretty well, I guess, and I'm hoping I can win a scholarship." Mike Terpkosh: "The test took one morning and was a different kind of test . They tested more for our thinking ability than that of our concepts of a subject.
