Not surprisingly, when I looked at the practice test, it made my brain hurt. A lot.
ReplyDeleteI've worked through most of the practice test, and it is not easy at all, and I am taking far too long to solve each problem. I think I'm going to try working through the 2007 test in order to get more practice before the live event.
ReplyDeleteStill, I would encourage anyone interested to try it... some of the puzzles are really clever, and some are just fun (one is finding the differences between two pictures filled with mice running around).
If it weren't my sister's birthday and she'd murder me if I missed it to solve puzzles (she already thinks it takes up too much of my time...sisters just don't understand...), I'd be all over this.
