Ouch. This is why i prefer 4u maths because your rank reflects how good you are at maths rather than how frequently you make silly mistakes

I still made tonnes of silly mistakes in 4U though.. especially my half yearly T_T
i make more silly mistakes in 4U than 3U. bcuz in 4U if u get a hard test and cant do every question it puts ur rhythm off and hence u make more mistakes.

Me too lol i made 13 silly errors but having said that 72 to 85 is not much of an improvement hahah. But my point was that for ext 1 the top kids in the cohort know how to do every question and the ones that they get wrong will always be silly mistakes

I get extremely nervous in 3u exams because i put too much pressure on myself because i expect to get everything correct lol

well then it comes down to how fast u finish the exams. if u finish earlier than another guy, you have more time to scan for mistakes, hence taking them out.

man lucky, i thought it was smooth sailing until question 6, and then i slowed down HEAPS. the end of question 7 (induction onwards) took me ages to get.

Michael Jennings was disappointed to find that he tried to differentiate the volume of a cone with respect to height without changing the radius in terms of height. This cost Michael Jennings 2 marks.
