it was 1 hour for 15 math questions

midnight quartz
#

probablity?

inner goblet
#

yea probability/combo

midnight quartz
#

nice

#

how easy

inner goblet
#

no expected value tho

midnight quartz
#

how confident r u in passing the phone

inner goblet
#

I'd say mostly mid-AMC 10/12 level

midnight quartz
#

ok not bad

inner goblet
#

I have no clue about the phone tbh

#

the video screen idek what they'll ask

#

thx @midnight quartz

midnight quartz
#

np

#

gl on the phone

#

i should study more prob from intermediate book

inner goblet
#

yea that might be a good idea

midnight quartz
#

did u have to use gen funcs on any lmao

inner goblet
#

nah lmao

midnight quartz
#

ok cool

#

haha

#

i think i passed belvedere oa so gotta study anyway and apply soon

inner goblet
#

I think I only got 12/15 right anyways

midnight quartz
#

thats good

midnight quartz
#

i got similar on belveder

#

it was 14 questions in 20 mins

inner goblet
#

oh boy what type of questions?

midnight quartz
#

i think i got most right, so im hoping to hear back soon

inner goblet
#

like quick computations?

midnight quartz
#

yea some probability / number theory questions

#

not quick

inner goblet
#

bruh wtf 14 questions 20 mins

#

that's rough

midnight quartz
#

stuff like whats 7^220020020 mod 50

#

and some probability

#

a few were weird but overall fine

inner goblet
#

or what's the strat?

midnight quartz
#

yea pretty much

#

basically

#

do this

#

(7^2)^(110010010) mod 50 --> (-1)^110010010 mod 50 --> 1

#

basically mod congruences

#

that was like that for a few of them

inner goblet
#

ah ok makes sense

midnight quartz
#

some of them were general algebra

#

you can just plug in stuff and do it that way to do it faster

inner goblet
#

yep the ez multiple choice trick

midnight quartz
#

yessir

inner goblet
#
