haha...your 209 is really good, at least compared to my score last year, i didn't even break 200 at all last year, not even close, you'd be 2nd in our region w/ that 209 if you scored that last yr at region. i took today's UIL and i had a 295. i've never heard about the mail-in test you mentioned

53. 7 + 14+ ... 77


FYI - one other way you can do this problem is to realize that the problem may also be expressed as:


7*(1 + 2 + ... + 11) which equals 7*[(11)*(11+1)/2] (formula for sum of first consecutive n numbers) = 7*11*6=42*11=462.


For me this one comes to mind more quickly, and it never hurts to have more than one option available under the time pressures during the test.
