You know you've made a good portrait when you have to cover a third of it with a label telling you who it is. Also, modern Nancy is cancer, it amazes me that it's the same medium as Ballard Street, which is loving balls to the walls awesome.

To be honest, hate-reading Gilchrist's Nancy gives me more entertaining than any other artist could achieve with it. The few actually good cartoonist should do their own stuff instead of redoing someone else's material. Kennel fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Mar 7, 2017 |

More to the point: we're talking about a 25% chance to... do what exactly? Ace the SAT? Cause boy is the chance to do that by random guess lower than 25%. ... Kelley and Parker do know it's not a binary pass/fail test, right?

I forget, did Mandrake's friends do anything whatsoever to determine which twin was the good one aside from asking the only conscious one whether he was Mandrake?

Kennel posted:I've had few school exams that gave negative points for wrong answers and ±0 for not answering. The SAT in particular is fairly infamous for having five possible answers, with -.25 points for a wrong answer and -0 points for a blank response. This means that, statistically speaking, you are at a point disadvantage if you guess wildly, but if you can reduce the possible answers to two choices, on average you make a point gain. The problem is that in practice this usually results in increased test anxiety and people never guessing, because surprise, it turns out humans (up to and including professional mathematicians) are pretty bad at statistical intuition and the average high schooler is not an exception to this rule. So what's supposed to be a system for reducing random guessing in favor of educated guessing discourages the latter.

Some Guy TT posted:Why'd they change it anyway? I mean granted- Well I mean the ugly reality is that bulk standardized testing is this weird, imperfect science that can never be nailed down and doesn't correlate quite as well with performance at the university level as we'd like so periodically it's subject to revisions. I like to think the College Board did some comparisons and concluded this gave a more accurate overall score. But I like to think a lot of things, y'know? e: On a completely unrelated note I'm really enjoying MFAC, thank you for posting it.
