Re: ATSAT Math Justin I agree with you totally. I also scored 100. The math on the test is very basic it gives you instructions at the beginning and some questions add some unneeded information. But I would have to say this is pretty basic stuff in terms of logical thinking and basic Add/Sub/Mult/Div. You could study but I dont think it will really help that much on this portion. At this age if this stuff doesnt come to you naturally, then Im pretty sure that studying math is not going to help much.
In many places that describe this occupation it states that it is a job in which you have to implement a complex set of instructions/rules and be able to adjust for changes on the fly. All sections have exactly this "detailed instructions" so read those and take the test. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if they graded you on how close your breaks/lunch were to what it told you to do, ie. did it tell you to take a 15 minute break and you skipped it or took too long or something. I dont know this to be true but im sure there are performance indicators on this test that arent simply did he/she get the questions right. They may even see how long you took to read the instructions or something else similiar.
Basically I would say the best studying you can do for this test is to use the practice games repeatedly, accurate or not to the real test they are going to get you in the frame of mind and stimulate your mind. I would practice 10 key for the scan this is something that is not a standard skill but will help on the test. As far as the math i dont think any matter of studying is going to signifigantly increase your score in that area.
