stats exams...

First exam about a month ago, took forever to finish (not normal for me) and seemed very hard. Got an 85. Second exam was last Monday night, seemed almost too easy, finished in 30 minutes, got an 86.

Great thing is that traditionally scores on exam 2 are about 10% lower than exam 1.

Do you have the data to back that up? Have you done a regression?

No, I have no access to the data, but the instructor does and that is where I got my info

What is sad is my notes for the class - math has never been a strong point for me, but I can handle programming, so all of my notes are a mix of C/C++/PHP and psuedocode.

I thought I'd flunk stats in school because it had a lot to do with that math business but decided to learn every trick the Ti-83 (this was 8 years back) had to offer. Finished every exam first in class, always scored 90 or better, never paid attention in class. The trick is to learn to use what equipment they allow you to use; leanring the techniques only takes up brain space.
