I have them all since 2005, I'll send them to you later if I can.

ahh thanks lol.

What is everyone aiming for?

Hoping for a distinction... but most likely will end up with a credit

 

[hayabusaboston]

Imma get a ...non applicable. Since I was too late in handing in note. Gah.

I'm kind of hoping for a prize, I've missed out by a mark or so too many times haha.

But will probs get a D/HD.

I didn't even have any intentions of doing it until I 'accidently' paid for it in the school fees....

So might as well do it since I paid for it!

 

[lolcakes52]

you just need to know everything about the number 2012, all its factors etc.

 

[deswa1]

Yer how did you guess it lol.

You'd have more of a chance actually working the asnwer out than guessing it right imo.

I ran out of time so I just guessed haha.

Ideally a HD but tbh I don't really care- I just do it because its interesting, I don't mind about my result (as long as its not a participation or something...)

Lol this exam is compulsory at our school however we all defied the rules and used the excuse of "studying for trials" to get out of it. Hopefully someone at school can give me their paper if not I have evil plans up my sleeve.

The test is IN our trial week- between 4U and chem lol

What % do you have to be for each stage in the senior division?

Like top % of the state for a Credit, D, HD, Prize, etc.

I'd be devastated with a participation.

I know prize is 0.3% and I think HD is like 5% and D 25% for the senior division

 

[SpiralFlex]

I want to do it haha but it's the same day as maths trial exam lol. I think...
Anyone wanna reserve me a paper?

Here is a question from the 2005 paper: The function y=f(x) is a function such that f(f(x))=6x-2005 for all real x. An integer t satisfies the equation f(t)=6t-2005. Find t.

Yeah

Looking at the back of my Year 8 Credit Certificate:

For middle primary, upper primary, junior and intermediate:
Prize is top 0.3%, HD is top 2%, D is top 15% and Credit is top 50%

For senior:
Prize is top 0.3%, HD is top 5%, D is top 25% and Credit is top 60%

Those maths exams are bloody impossible!! Does anyone ever get full marks? I can answer like the first three and that's it :/

Yep, they get a medal for full marks. There are multiple people each year

 

[theind1996]

I have them all since 2005, I'll send them to you later if I can.

Me too?

 

[LoveHateSchool]

I gave up on them after like Year 8 cause I feared they'd get harder

t=401

Nice question!

 

[RealiseNothing]

t=401

Nice question!

What marks did you usually get in AMC? Since you made it to the Olympiad training camps.

HDs in early high school, prizes in late high school. (I don't think I ever got full marks.)

Would you know approximately ?/135 would be a prize?

yay, so I was right.
