Senior Maths Challenge 2015 predicted thresholds and past thresholds

Does anybody have any predictions for the thresholds this year. And what were the ones previously for silver and gold?

Scroll to see replies

I think they'll go higher this year - I personally found it easier than last year's. Last year's thresholds were 57 for Bronze, 71 for Silver and 84 for Gold.

Question 13, does 'that' refer to the yesterday or the day on which they claim they didn't lie?

Yeah I'm surprised I managed to answer question 24 - I normally avoid questions 21-25 haha

this exactly

in my head i thought that the questions get harder as they go along, and if i find question 14 hard then obviously the back questions would be almost impossible so i didnt even bother looking. i strongly regret it now...

I was pretty annoyed today. I just casually walk into statistics waiting to learn and then we're given the paper...

Eh, I wish I could have revised or something :frown:

Is this paper sat annually?

its not something you can revise really, its just to test your natural math foundations/skills
