Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinants.
This is a multi stage cache. You will have to do the math to find the correct coordinants.


One of my children recently took the college entrance exam. A.C.T.

I tried to explain to him that prep is key to scoring well. Lets just say that he didn't do much prep.

For those of you who didn't do well and for those of you who are about to begin your prep, this little exam should help you get comfortable taking the math portion of the exam.

The rest of you will need to do well to get the correct coords to sign the log.

****

This is a 25 question exam of math questions one would expect to encounter while sitting for the A.C.T. college entrance exam.

You will need to solve each problem. Answers are listed a-j.

a=1 b=2 c=3 d=4 e==5 f=6 g=7 h=8 i=9 j=0

IF you solve Question A and your answer is (a), then question A has a value of 1. If your answer is (j) then the value is 0.

Remember that the order of operation for Algebra is: PEMDAS

Good Luck. Show your work.
(I will be happy to help you with 1 problem if you contact me from this site.)
