4974 .GS Marks my Nab.
I had a Unit Assessment today and I got one short of full marks and it is pissing me off no end and I want your opinion, because my lecturer hasn't explained it to me yet and I feel quite annoyed with myself.

3ab-3 x 7b5c

This makes no sense to me. At a guess I would say:

21ab3c

But that is after 3 hours of rumination. I left it blank on the test paper.

That power is a typo.

*21ab2c

I don't suppose it matters though, it'll probably be wrong either way.

Is this just bog standard simplication? Your lecturer sets simplifcation?

Anyway yes 21ab2c is correct.

Aww fuck, really? I'm doing a Mathematics for Science Unit as a part of my HND. It was a pretty simple paper, at Int 2 level. He his building us up because some of us haven't done any algebra for over 10 years.

Why I had trouble with this question at the time I do not know... it just didn't make sense at the time.

Cheers though, lad.

Well, that was insanely easy, lad. You should really work on your algebra.

I happened to have a look at a GCSE maths paper the other day and saw this question near the front:

Write the number '4759' in words.

ON A GCSE PAPER.
If there was a 16-year old who couldn't answer that I don't know how they would ever function in society.

Have a look around. There are lots of people unable to function in society.

To be honest, if you are looking for:

>people unable to function in society.

/pol/ is definitely a good start.

Was it higher or foundation? And all the piss easy questions are at the front, so this is hardly a totally fair representation.

I know that they get progressively harder, but surely everything in there is supposed to be a test of one's skills? The fact that it is included at all suggests to me that there are some people who couldn't answer it.

I left school at 15... and returned 10 years later to get highers, one of which wasn't Math. Because there are so many people in my HND that are in their late 20s early 30s, we are being given a crash course in the math we need. We do theory one week, Nabs the next. We are doing Statistics and all sorts of Int 2 and higher level stuff, so it's hardly taxing.

Well, the Higher Stats was not for the loose arsed. I just had a brain fart on one question and was looking for advice, which to be fair I didn't really need in hindsight as I had worked it out myself.

Should have aced the fucker.
