tampalizard,
The Statistics exam has a lot more questions on "principles and concepts" than actual mathematical calculations. I only had to actually use my calculator perhaps a dozen or so times out of 97 questions.
For example (I'm making this up):
Instead of asking...
"What is 2 + 2?".
A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7
They might ask...
"When two positive numbers are added together, the result is always:
A. A Positive Number
B. A Negative Number
C. Zero
D. All of the Above
That's the best I can do, sorry! But basically, they want to know if you understand the concept rather than whether you can calculate the solution.
Hope that helps,
Snazzlefrag
My name is Rob
