Good job!

I can get the reading questions off the cuff, of course, because I write for a living.

I hope they give the test-takers scratch paper and plenty of erasers (and time), because it took me some noodling to work out the math questions. But I got 'em . . . I think (is -4/5 an answer?)

I chose my college because it didn't require a math course for graduation!

Yes, that's the correct answer for the problem as stated.

However, I think they meant to express it this way:

5q - 7p = 3

...which would have yielded a more rational answer of 2.
