BBC maths test. Try it (Irelatively harder than last weeks English test)

[PollyLogos]

here

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

I got 19, but shouldn't have got the one wrong that I did!
No calculator, but it did take me quite a while!

I got only 11 on the maths one, but 19 on the English. I didn't even take higher level maths. Ugh!

I got 17 but at least 4 of those were complete guesses. I STILL can't do long division, so had to cheat on the lottery question, I'm ashamed to say. I had literally spent half an hour trying to divide the lottery winnings by 7 and getting a different answer every time.

20/20 - would have been too embarrassed to post otherwise, as I have a GCSE, 2 A levels and a degree in maths!!!

I gave up at question 3. Maths and moo are incompatible.

Another 20/20 here but then I had to live up to my nickname!

19 with no calculator. Would have been 20 with a calculator (assuming I pressed the right buttons that is).

I found this much harder than the English one from a couple of weeks ago which is strange as I got an `A' in A level maths (19 years ago) but wasn't much good at English at school.

15/20 - and I guessed three of those right. Am appalling at maths. Feel all stressy now. No wonder I work with words for a living - got 20/20 on the word test! I'd love to be better at maths and I do try hard to understand it, but it feels like someone's unravelling my brain when I try to do some of those sums!

Can someone please copy and paste the link for me please, my pc wont do links.

Had a temper tantrum and walked out of the exam room. Partner is still laughing.

THANK YOU

I got 19/20 on English test because I thought "I have found my long lost brother" needed a ! more than a -.

I did the maths one ages ago, can't remember what I got but somewhat less than 19, it is much harder.

I'm not even going to try. I got an A at O-level maths, dammit, even if that was in 1979. And that's the last time I'm doing anything mathematical.

haven't looked anyone else's scores yet - but I bet i've done the worst

13 - and I guessed 6 of them

DH got 16

Wow - I got 19/20 for English! Now that's a surprise because normally I'm not even the slightest bit pedantic about grammer (well, OK a little pedantic, but very lazy).

I just got 15/20 for the English.

My pleasure Charliecat!

Me too janh! (long lost brother!)

Well, I think it's a silly quiz.

19/20 for the English

and for Maths

18/ 20 for the english test

19/20. The number series baffled me

full marks for me too 20/20

18 for the English and 17 for the Maths. Thought the maths was way harder.
