I thought it was quite hard....got 16

Ahem... its not cheating to use a calculator or pen/paper!! Its more a test of mathematical symbols/fractions/algebra than mental arithmatic!

20/20. No calculator, just pen + paper.

I'd say it was more arithmetic then maths.

Where was the English one, then?

20

Maths is my strong point - did maths AS level and Physics A level (among others of course).

12/20 thought I would do worse!!

english test

Another full house - with no English degree thou' so I will shout about it this time .

18/20. Pleasantly surprised as I did not take any maths at Uni!

19. got the stupid isosceles triangle one wrong.

its not a mental math test at all. and pen and paper always help with algebra as it is easy to keep things clear then.
just hate stupid trig.

18. couldn't remember enough algebra to get the last two .

It's hardly degree level though, Cadmum, is it?

got 20 on the English test in about a tenth of the time it took to do the maths test. Are they really supposed to be at the same level?

12 but no paper and pen or calculator.

20 with a pen and paper. just as well, as Im an engineer.

I got 20, but I agree CarolinaMoon, they don't seem to be at the same level. I did A level maths and I don't think I would have been able to get it all right without A level, whereas the English test didn't need any kind of school study as such.

12/20 and I am a complete maths dunce. Was quite pleased. Where is the English test? Will do much better at that.

18/20 with a leetle help from DS1 (18)

(didn't understand what some of the questions actually meant..)

15/20 for me

I got 16 but it took me soooo much longer than the english one
I still don't understand a couple of them

can someone copy and paste the link for me pleasae

Where's the English one?? I wanna do it.......!

Agree with Tamum and Carolina moon. Maths was a lot harder than english.
Scored 19 on the maths and 17 on the english. I am an engineer too Nightynight - what sort are you?

19 out of 20, I got the tennis ball one wrong.

The tennis balls one was one (of the few) I got right! Hooray for me, the maths dunce.

I had no problem getting 20/20 on maths, but the english one was a bit harder for me ... got confused about similes, and had problems with double-letter spelling (which I always struggle with).
