6 out of 7.

Got the voltage question wrong lol.

Fenris · 22 Aug 2013 at 18:36

Got them all right.

Then again I just spent the last 2 years studying A Level Maths so I would be rather embarrassed if I hadn't.

Kenai · 22 Aug 2013 at 18:37

Got 6 because I got to the last one and couldn't be bothered so just clicked one at random

7, pretty sad that that is supposed to be the standard at GCSE :-(

Judgeneo · 22 Aug 2013 at 18:43

7, but I do have a degree in the subject so would be horrified to get less.

Raymond Lin · 22 Aug 2013 at 18:43

7, it's been years and its still just as easy.

Some you just need to pay attention to the question, it's not even a question of doing any maths.

I doubt it is really but they can't exactly put a 6 mark multiple stage question on their multi-choice coffee break time killer quiz

Tibbz2 · 22 Aug 2013 at 18:52

Pretty easy, then again I have just done GCSEs.

It isn't, there are a lot harder questions than that we did in year 9

Thats basic maths, how can that be GCSE standard, no wonder kids are dumb.

I got 4

dirtychinchilla · 22 Aug 2013 at 18:55

That's not representative of a maths GCSE.

No comment.

In the morning I could probably get at least 5/7

It's all nonsense to me after a day at the office though.

Hasn't anyone heard of BBC bitesize?

Much more representative of GCSE Maths. Although even then it is still "bitesize".

7. I have a maths and stats degree to be fair though. I'll admit to needing a calculator for the trig question, unless there is some sort of gcse trick I'm not sure how you're supposed to do cos72 in your head, also nearly forgot to put my calculator into degrees instead of radians

I also used a calculator for question 3, no way I could be bothered to do that in my head
