29. yeah the no calculator thing is really going to suck
I don't think I have been actually forced to do long division without the aid of a calculator since elementary school. I think it's entirely impractical and a bit unfair for them to structure the test that way. For better or worse most people rely on a calculator to work out their math problems all through school and they even let you use it on the SAT and now all of the sudden after 16 years of doing math this way they pull the rug from out under you.
