ICAS Mathematics Competition (3 Viewers)

[RealiseNothing]

Based on recondit's post. I reckon I was one off a distinction. I got 28.
I'm looking over my answers, and I'm like dafuq did I actually select that answer. I now realise how derp I am.

wtf, so a 28 is a participation, whilst scraping 30's is a distinction.

So where exactly do credits fit into all this lol?

it was essentially a fail for me. credits are not even worthy, so pretty much a participation.

True. When Realise a couple of weeks ago, said that the cut off for HD was low, I thought I was definitely in a for a chance. Turns out I got some general level maths questions wrong.

Yeah I got 30/40. I thought I would get like 34

My biggest worry is harder 2u content in 3u, most 4u people would have forgotten all the concepts.

This year was much easier than last year, that's really why the cut-off went up so much.

And dw, the 2 I got wrong were from: 1) didn't realise it asked for revolutions per hour when I worked out degrees per hour, and 2) not halving my answer.

Kicking myself.

38/40, got question 5 and 19 wrong.

Sillies..... fml

I got 36/40, I thought I'd get more! I got a HD though...
Last year I got 37, I thought I definitely improved, 2 Qs were definetely silly mistakes...dammit
I've been trying to get medal for maths for ages, though I got one for Computer in yr 7
