I think that math is a harder thing to just google, simply because of the endless possibilities for questions. What do the questions look like?

I didn't see "cat" as a race on the form.
Take a pic and let the Asians figure it out for you. Well, everyone except Sober because I hear he's a sub par Asian.

That was some of the sloppiest, scrapiest basketball I've ever seen. We collapsed in overtime. Again. Fucking christ.

It's so familiar it's giving me PTSD flashbacks. I swear to god. Does Derozan even want to play basketball anymore?
For Algebra problems? If it was just ProveIt, I'd be fine. I've done those tests before and aced the Outlook, Word, Powerpoint parts of it. Excel I had some issues with but when I did a review I realized that they wanted me to answer in a specific way (though the way I was doing it was right). So I did it their way and was fine.
This is an example of the practice questions they gave me:
If a boat goes downstream 72 miles in 3 hours and upstream 60 miles in 6 hours the rate of the river and the rate of the boat in still water respectively are ______?
A) 7 & 6mph B) 7 & 17 C) 6 &17 mph D) 6 & 18 E) none

F) wat?! 0_o
EXACTLY.
There's a sequential pattern part and a spacial relationship part. I'm not really worried about these parts. Just the algebra word problems. If it was just straight math I could probably do it. There's also no calculators.
That also requires an understanding of the concept that velocity is relative. And then you have to solve the system of two equations with two unknowns.
It's definitely not something you might be expected to do off the cuff and it's something that you would need to go back and learn for this test.
But I feel like that kind of question can be learned quickly with some practice. How are you faring on them on your practice runs?

I got b by the way and can elaborate if you are having trouble
You forgot to add Derozan on the list. That guy is shit
I am 100% positive I can do this job easily and well. I'm 99% positive I won't get this job because of the math part of this test.
Your answer is right but I must be blind because I still can't see how you got the answer. I understand the 10mph and 24mph (that's as far as I got myself) but I'm a bit lost at the bottom part.
This just makes me feel stupid and I'm NOT stupid. With some of the questions, I get to a certain point and just stall. I did get one of the answer to one of the questions but by reverse engineering it based on the potential answers. Which is not the way your supposed to do it but whatever.
Another sample question:
The sum of both digits, of either two two-digit numbers, in whatever order the digits are written, is 9. The square of either of the digits of either number, minus the product of both digits, plus the square of the other digit is the number 21. The numbers are ____?
A) 36,63 B) 81,18 C) 27,72 D)45,54 E) none
I had to do a similar test prior to getting my last job. They didn't really care about how well you did, it was mostly just to see your strengths/weaknesses. Unless that type of question is directly related to your job I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm aware of that. That's why I was wondering if I should start filling them out. It's not addressed to me. It's not registered mail. How do they know I even received it?
Nope, it's not directly related. The job is not highly mathematical, as far as I can tell. I also had to do a personality assessment and ethics assessment.

The math part doesn't take long, but the recognition of what math you need to do is the stumbling block. The recognition of what kind of math is actually quite involved, requiring an understanding of some physics concepts. I pm'ed you with a more detailed explanation of my answer.

My iPhone5 over heated and shut off today driving home. I was using Waze with my sunroof and window open with the sun hitting my phone the entire time. It's not even hot outside.
As far as the food, there's a place on Augusta named Otto's. I haven't had it and it's not Halal but I've been told it's good.

Rogers to shutter Mobilicity, will shift stores and customers to chatr mobile
"Effective August 15, Rogers will stop activating new Mobilicity lines. Sometime in the fall, the company will then begin moving Mobilicity customers over to Chatr. "
Well... adleast I have Fall to find a new phone provider. That's usually a good time for new phone plans. Wind will probably be more expensive when they go Full Shaw.

"According to Rogers, each of those customers will have the option to shift to a comparable Chatr plan, but their current monthly wireless plan will not be grandfathered."
Well I guess it's Wind. Or I guess since my brother works at PWC i can maybe get onto his Rogers corporate plan.
