The no calculator rule makes me cry year after year.
Haha well they actually determine your certificate by you percentile in the state.Aquawhite said:Hahaha. I never get distinctions lol. I always go really bad... well not really bad but a low/medium credit, which I suppose it okay considering the difficulty of the test! I can tell that I got soo much wrong and I had trouble using my head for factors, dividing, prime numbers (not too bad lol) etc.
GAYEST TEST EVER!
Yes, I understand that. Lol.dux&src said:Haha well they actually determine your certificate by you percentile in the state.
But, really you don't actually need a calculator to do the competition.robot rabbit said:The no calculator rule makes me cry year after year.
I know one person whom randomly coloured in the bubbles.dux&src said:But, really you don't actually need a calculator to do the competition.
and lol it's almost impossible to get zero unless you left everything blank.
My head hurted having to do all the questions without a calculator. e.g. i could have used trig in a few of the triangle questions.... should have read my book at home it has every angle for sin cos and tan. Lol. Would have got a general idea of how the numbers work.dux&src said:But, really you don't actually need a calculator to do the competition.

She did, bhahahrobot rabbit said:I know one person whom randomly coloured in the bubbles.
I tend to make silly mistakes and i have become very dependent on the calculator lately. So if the calculator's gone, the tears start to well up.
Oh cool thank you, comeon 1/5 chance of getting it right.robot rabbit said:It was number 21, the first of the 5 mark questions i think.
Because these things take a while to go through the computer and be checked by people, I imagine a long time. They are also very slow to post them off....kurt.physics said:When do we get the results back?
You get it early term 4. as always.kurt.physics said:When do we get the results back?
It was much faster to use guess and check than formulating an equation. Use the options there are you can't really go wrong. That one was pretty easy. There was no need to have like x-6 < x-4 < x-2 < x blah blah blah. That would be ridiculous lol. No time.kurt.physics said:At least the questions were fairly interesting. The only AMC test i could practice on was the 2002 one, and i can say, this one is faaarrrr more interesting than 2002's one.
I am just curious, what method did everyone use for question 6) Four consective odd integers add up to 48. What is the largest of these numbers?
You didnt have to do it that way, there is a more easier clean 'proof'. This is what i used, i was just curious if many other people used/though of it to.Aquawhite said:It was much faster to use guess and check than formulating an equation.
