Just break her arm before the test=win

And loling hard at some of the mark differentials between 1st and 2nd haha. Only time I've ever been outright first in a maths test was 65/66 in prelim 3U yearly and then 2nd got 64/66 lol. At least the average was around fail so I was very happy
I had a look @ your prelim yearly - wth, it's not even that hard?..

It might not have been that one then but I think it was- it was hard in the test imo. There were a lot of questions that seemed easier than they were but yeah, its not that difficult. Try it.

Do you have a bad cohort or is it an insanely difficult test (great work either way)
I didn't find it that difficult tbh, I was quite surprised when people told me they had only had a go at 31/70 marks.

Your prelim yearly was out of 66, so it's probably that.

Fantastic paper - good that it was so hard.

I didn't do incredibly well, but meh... I got 53/66.

But rote certain things i.e. it's not particularly needed to learn the proof of the perpendicular distance formula.
Memorising things like that isn't necessarily distinct from studying 'smart'. In this case, it is a timesaving measure. But it is useful have a rough idea of how we could prove it.
