The Dumbest mistake u've ever made in a Maths Exam (3 Viewers)

[midifile]

lol yea it was 1 times 2. How do make the times symbol any1?

times symbol = x

 

[jockrussell]

ok to put into simpler terms how do i create that times symbol using the keyboard.(what keys do i press to make it appear).

 

[tacogym27101990]

the x button

 

[Aerath]

the x button

Haha.

[Aerath]

I've seen that one before. Never the x, though.

 

[meilz92]

one of the questions asked for only the positive answer
i gave the positve AND negative answer >_<
anddd i lost a mark for it
i wuda got 100% if it werent 4 that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aplus]

I'm using A₁, A₂ and A₃ to show a generic question.
A₁ - A₂(- A₃)
I forgot about the negative sign inside the bracket and expanded it in the form:
A₁ - A₂(A₃)
Careless error

 

[Patar]

I'm so lost. I swear I thought 1*2 = 2

Yeah, I think my sarcasm was a little bit obscure...

 

[vivid]

I wrote 1 x 3 = 1.
When asked to find f(0), after finding a pronumeral within that function, I...forgot to sub in x.
In an AP question, I found a. But when finding the term asked, I forgot to sub in a, only d.
I often forget the second number in evaluating a definite integral.
Yet we know I'm not bad at maths, because I rank in the top 20 at NSG.

You cannot possibly beat my carelessness in maths.

In my last 3 unit exam, the only mark I lost was because I forgot to write +- when I square rooted something

Heres mine , i finid a 3 unit exam paper in 20 mins , and have 30 mins left , and at that moment i was like crap , i went too fast again , i went back on a question that i got problems with , sitting there and spended 30 mins on it , i wrote like 10 page on it , but yet i couldnt get the answer . . . . . and u know wat ? the teacher siting infront of me get frustrated , she even pointed out where my error is, at the moment , i still dont know what the heck is wrong . . . she pointed at a cos 30 . . . . i was like whats wrong with that . . . i got frustrated as well, and i am like what eva , that will only cost me 1-2 mark . .

AND AFTER THAT , U KNOW WHAT ? the teacher stood up , and tell the whole class , EVERYBODY , U KNOW WHAT ? I (the teacher) GET SOOO FRUSTRATED THAT HON (me) ARE STRUGLLING WITH cos 30 . . then i am like cos 30 ? A half ? then the teacher yelled at me its root 3 on 2 . then i was like . . . oh crap , thats what went wrong , i got a calculator next to me that i can easily found out , but i didnt . . . and the teacher goes on , he is such talented student who finishes the paper in 20 mins , but yet lacks of common sense. . . then she goes on , AND HE DO 4 UNIT. . . i am like . . . hell yeah, thats me . . . .
class ends . . . . what a greattt exam . Btw , i came equal first

1+1=3.
Worst of all, it was a long division question and it took me about 20 minutes to find out why my polynomial wasn't factorising.

 

[bored of sc]

Not taking the negative case when you do the square root is annoying.

 

[suzlee]

Oh GOD this thread is exactly what I needed!!!


In this year's half yearly... I lost 2 marks because of:

2+3=6

1/0=1


I can never avoid making at least one of those dumb mistakes in a maths exam

 

[katielyn92]

yep what was it?
i think it was a asinx + bcosx= r sin(x+y) qs
i took tan y as a/b

i always make dumb mistakes!
once in yr 9 i also had:
8x-2x= 4x
brilliant

 

[katielyn92]

Not taking the negative case when you do the square root is annoying.

i do that ALL the time!

 

[o7nesss]

LOL

my mate omg he's such an idiot my hilarious!

there was a question with like a non-right angle triangle
the question was "Find Y"
he points an arrow to "y" and writes "Found It!"

...he got 0

how original

 

[conics2008]

I manged to this in my trial x^2=4 therefore x= +- 4

also

1-1/root2 < 1+1/root2 < 1

see the logic mate..
