    MATHS MARATHON! (Mathsathon?)

    A question I got wrong in my trial: "Write an expression for the quotient of q^2 and 2 less than p." Does anyone know how to approach this?

    There are many theories of evolution, so saying evolution itself may be incorrect. However, I'm not sure how the examiners themselves mark it but your response technically should of said "the theory of evolution by natural selection".

    I agree; the ratio of the ammount of information we consume at the tables at school and the ammount we excrete onto the paper on the examination bowel is nowhere near an equilibrium. However, these tests are made to be fair to the average person; especially those leaving year 10, so that they...

    Accumulative knowledge from year 9 to 10 (a good memory helps) and a lot of crunch inbetween DotA clan wars (reading the notes made during class). The latter is true, although I probably would be better off without it. Oh, and 10 trial examination papers helped.

    Yes, there seemed to be a paucity of Bs, and a plethora of As and Cs. I bet if someone "C'd" the exam, they would get 60% in the multiple choice.

    There are many processes of natural selection, however I did: Speciation; Survival of the fittest; Prevention of interbreeding (seperation); Decline/increase of numbers.

    Yes, that's correct. Yes, it was atom.

    The correct answer was the nervous system and the endocrine system; you might get one mark for that, as the peripheral and central nervous systems make up the nervous system.

    It's infectious; my trial exam had the exact same questions, and I remember people who did contagious got it marked incorrect.

    Definitions from BoS: Law: A simple and precise statement that has been shown to be universally reliable. It describes phenomena that occur with unvarying regularity under the same conditions. Laws do not provide explanations, they simply state the relationship between two relevant variables...

    It was a stupid question, but the answer is atom. An electron would be part of the atom, not the element (stupid, right?). The question should of been "what is the smallest, stable part of an element?".

    General Thoughts: Science

    Newton's Laws are laws, not theories. There's a big difference. Anyhow, I did the theory of evolution by natural selection, with the evidence being the pentadactyl limb.

    I understand that the example showed that process - but the admins of the test told me to do so... just wanted to know if they gave me incorrect information.

    Mmm, so far it seems I got every multiple choice question right, except for one. Quick question: if I mispelt a word (in this case, indicator) and then crossed out a letter and wrote the correct letter above it - would the computer understand what I did?
