No idea what level it is. I got sent it was part of my PGCE Primary course. I'm thinking it was designed to push one to the limits (I hope)!

Do you mind me asking what you got? I will try the others tomorrow when I'm not so tired (not that this is an excuse).

No disrespect but HB&B is going to have fun with those

Not the tiny test one expects to be posted on NSC. Did the 1st one. All correct. Long time since I did any long division.
And crikey, I got taught english in those 70s/80s years when you heard nothing about grammer or sentence structure.
Still so far maths - 100%, english 82%

and now science. 84%


I'd say those were pretty hard, and chapeau to anyone who gets over 60 without any cheating.

I haven't tried them yet. Just found the email and thought I would share. Clicked on the science one a few minutes before I posted. Really tempting to look up a flower makeup, but shall not. Will attack tomorrow afternoon.

Didn't even bother with the maths cos I'm crap & am embarrased to say only managed 54% on the English. That was enough.

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

62% on Science and English for me. Looked at the Maths one and decided against it!

 

[madinthehead]

Maths: Your score for the test was 62%... Oh dear..

 

[madinthehead]

English: Your score for the test was 54%

I think it's a variation. I was taught some of the stuff in there at GCSE, but probably more of it at A level. At least that's what my memory is telling me. Some of it I've never touched upon at all.

I got 72%. Swerved the Maths and Science ones!

I've only just put two and two together (I haven't attacked the maths yet). I think I might have kicked you off the bowling green, in Preston Park, the other day.

Nothing personal. I'd do things differently if I were the park manager. I think it was you as I recognised a mess of blonde hair from an REMF football tournament. May not have been you.

English 77%
Science 66%
Maths GTF

 

[gully is my god]

English 90
Maths 76
Science 94

Maths let me down...some sloppy mental maths

But the information is the identical to what I learnt at school.

The science one even uses the same diagrams we were given. (finished 6th form 2008 plus I am at uni doing chemistry)

So big advantage compared with some other people on here.

Only done the first one, got 88%. Can't understand the answer to number 7b though:
Question 7 asked what the next term and the nth term would be in the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.

You answered:
A: 64
B: 2^n/2

The correct answers are
A: 64
B: 2(n-1) (note, I've cut and pasted that, it showed as 2 to the power of n-1)

If it was 2(n-1) and n was 1 (the first term), then according to the answer, 2(1-1) = 1. How does that work?
I thought it was 2 to the power of n, all over 2. Works for me.

Stopped at ' vulgar fractions ' as felt rather at home there !!

You can have all the academic qualifications in the world,but it is useless without common sense!
When I was on the oil rigs ,we had a boatload of students from various colleges in Cambridge who came out for a fact finding jaunty...they put on their lifejackets...back to front...inside out...or just hung them over their shoulder.

Me too! Apparently the answer to convert 0.375 to a vulgar fraction was not "just over a f***ing third"!

 

[Kumquat]

63% English. Was expecting worse considering how tough I found it.
