Lessons from Bluebook Practice Test 4

Hey guys! I took the Bluebook practice test 4 today and scored a 1460 (760 reading, 700 math). Here are some general observations I made (no "spoilers") to help you avoid the same mistakes I made:

Reading

Make sure to analyze graphs carefully
If asked about a text generalization, try to add a relevant example
Double-check your answers if there's time

Math

Parallel lines have the same slope, perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal for the slope
Check your signs when distributing/FOILing
Don't set up a proportion if you're not given enough information to cancel something out
Remember to put parentheses around negative numbers in the calculator (idk about Desmos, I usually use a hand calculator for simple calculations)
Know percent increase vs. percent decrease
Make sure you know what the question is asking for. For example, if they want 4x and you only put x, that's wrong.
c/a is product of roots, -b/a is sum of roots
Don't multiply an integer and variable together once you've FOILed
Don't use a decimal unless asked
Review surface area formulas because they show up all the time and aren't provided

Hope this helps!
