Re: Maths Competition

i alternated between HD and prize awards for 5 years...basically because each exam is for two grades....so when i was in the higher grade i'd get the prize award

Re: Maths Competition

Got a distinction somehow. My ability to answer them stopped at 12-13. I got lucky I guess xD

Re: Maths Competition

Those competitions are multiple choice. My inherent weakness.

P.S The keyword you've used is 'try'. That's correct; I put in effort but that doesn't always translate into results I'm happy with.

I hate multiple choice. In English every choice may be seen as correct based on your own individual subjective perspective of the text.

Congratulations. What score did you get? What marks for each set of 10 questions?

Re: Maths Competition

I also got distinction for my Westpac Competition, based on a lot of guessing!

Congrats guys . I got 52 points (top 13% if I recall). And shamefully, I'm doing 3u Maths for Year 12

H4rdc0re that's not good enough. I expected a medal from you at least

Re: Maths Competition

I'm planning to enter next year in a futile attempt to continue my form from year 8 and get a HD or even more unlikelier a prize (not a medal, i'm not genius after all)

 

[Tsylana]

I missed 3 of the last 5 questions by 1 -.-"

 

[clintmyster]

got distinction as well =]

 

[gurmies]

High Distinction, 68 points, top 2%. 17/30 :S Kind of odd that that equates to a High Distinction

 

[Ezzz1990]

I got a Distinction. 52 Points. Top 24%. 15/30. In Questions 1-10, I got 27 Points. In Questions 11-20, I got 20 Points. And in Questions 21-30 I got 5 Points. The funny is however that I got the best mark in Year 12, even though I only do General Maths. The person that got a Credit and 2nd in the year only does Maths 2 Unit. And all 4 of the Extension 1 Maths Students got Proficiency Awards. Lol, it was pretty ironic and amusing.
Also last year when I did Maths 2 Unit and went in the comp I only got a Participation and 25 Points (7/30). Lol. Dropping to General Maths has clearly helped. I guess General Maths gives you a very solid grounding in Mathematics.
