E,A,D, C, C, E. I think.

It's interesting how far an ability to solve math and logic problems can help in life - LSAT, GRE, MCAT. Why do they ask future doctors (MCAT) to add fractions on an admissions test?

In some sense, math is overrated.

In another, it is not.

How come word problems are despised by students everywhere?

Our curriculum is remnant of another time. Geometry should be replaced by statistics. If people understood statistics better they wouldn't gamble any less but they'd understand better why they were losing.
