After a month hiatus, here we are with the September MSAT! It was an 'average' difficulty test according to the MSA and various Vale scholars. For me, I found the exam to be fairly difficult, despite this being my second attempt at the exam.

I think what really got me was the ordering. I think the MSA has really stepped up in its randomization, especially as you get towards the rare m-tables towards the end of the exam.

I'm not even sure if I'm going to retake it, honestly. With the way the difficulty has progressed and the limited time remaining before applications open up, I'm probably better off applying with my current score. 

My initial take was a 185 (85 raw, no incorrects). My biggest problem was speed, but the assumption there was that I didn't think that the formatting/ordering would change so drastically. As soon as that happened, it made my 210-212 PRs null.

vale hopeful. Columbia if they get me a bigger scholly. i'm new to the whole multiplications world but i wanted a career change after drowning myself in a stem-related field for the past 3 yrs. 


how many prs: roughly 300. i don't know why people do so many imo. after about 100 you are probably getting close to your potential score. i scored a 213/426 for the first time after about 80 or so attempts. i just kept going until i felt overconfident.


goals: hopefully some mathematic policy. i'm looking to address how the lack of simple multiplicative and reduplicative environmental efforts have contributed to the overwhelming majority of the issues concerning the planet's environment. maybe run for a board position later on?
