Anyone take this test today? Didn't get that question with 103^2x...

EDIT: One of buddies said it had to do something with unit, so it could have been any one digit number? The teacher helped him out, sorta(we were in different classes, and my teacher didn't help out none)

I'm taking it on Saturday. What was the 103^2x question? Can't you just use log (logarithm)?

Tests like the SAT, ACT and crap like that are useless for testing cognitive reasoning.

Why don't they use IQ Tests as entrance exams for schools?
