Are the old exams like the ones in the years of the 90's worded oddly? Because it's really hard for me to decipher what they are saying on many of the Lr problems and the games verbiage....don't even get me started!

    Loll yeah if you are used to the more recent tests the phrasing is quite odd in the older PTs. It's not just you. You can tell when you across some older questions.

    @mrodgers209 Maybe post some example question? Hard to know what specifically you mean by worded oddly. Many questions the wording is deliberately tricky and/or intentionally convoluted to force you to think.

    @"nessa.k13.0" I'm glad to know that I am not the only person who thinks that. In fact going over one of the games explained by JY he said the games were weird lol! Now that I definitely must agree on!

    @tylerdschreur10 when I say worded oddly I mean worded in a way that is very difficult to understand the meaning as to what they are saying. If you look at any of the exams from 1- 10 and compare those to the tests of recent....you can tell the difference in the verbiage and how it's is used. Maybe it's the millennial in me lol

    Yeah, there's a lot of weird stuff in some of the older ones. I love some of the tech questions talking about "the internet" and "voicemail" and all these strange new things. Pretty funny. Don't sweat these ones too much. If JY says it's weird, then it's probably not something you have to worry about on a contemporary test.

    No, its not you. Some weird stuff in there most likely before we were born. Sometimes it makes me laugh....

    Lmao!!!! Yes it definitely makes me laugh! The fact that I wasn't even a toddler when some of these exams were made is hilarious! @"Alex Divine"
