If Mr. Cicc (PA State writer) is reading this: Great test yesterday! I really can't express how awesome it was; I truly had fun taking it (or my sense of fun has been screwed up by 5 years of SO). I thought it was a nice variety of questions difficulty-wise, thought the math was a bit mind-boggling...my partner and I barely touched it due to time...

Also, will you be putting up this year's test up on the Exchange, and/or sharing the score distribution?

Thanks, AlphaTauri. The exam should be up on the test exchange soon, I already submitted it. Also take a look at my post in the Pennsylvania 2013 thread.

The test is up.

I'll need a ruling on the meme on the cover, as well.

I like the idea of using a meme but it didn't really follow the format of the Dos Equis guy :/
Other than that, it looks good.

Psh, so what? It was...

I dunno, I laughed out loud when I saw it. It doesn't make that much of a difference to change it to third person, honestly. I never understood why it was so frowned upon to make slight edits to meme templates if the general idea remains.

Mr. Cicc! I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm that random kid from Syosset at the Athens invite who said how you're tests were good XD. But hey, maybe it's just hard to live up to your meme from last year ;). Should I send you feedback by PM or what? I will say this year's test is another good one :D.

I think your test last year changed my study style a bit, so I had much more of an idea of what your test this year would be like compared to last year >.< (not to mention I have to do an extra "study everything else" for NYS...). So thanks again!
