I was very happy with the test until I found the 2 very dumb mistakes I made!

For the question on teachers, I worked out the number of female teachers (54) and wrote that down in my answer but by chance, along the way I worked out and labelled the total number of teachers as 90. Do you think they will accept it even though I didn't put it as my final answer?

Also, for the last question, I got to the point when area = 3/4 - (root 6)/12 and then I made a horribly stupid mistake to write area = (36 - (root 6))/12. How many marks will this lose me if it was a 3 mark question? I'm hoping for just 1.


Well 3/4 - (root 6)/12 is wrong, however i presume the method was right so i'd say 1/3.
18b was 14/5 not 24/5
What did people put for the oil one? I put 53 days.. but I have heard a variety of answers from friends so ;-;

0.04 doesn't make much sense.

Hey, if anybody is willing to contribute the answers, and preferably the questions, then I shall set up a mark scheme for you all. Thanks in advance!

Can people please attach question numbers to their answers? Method would be appreciated.

This will be updated as I go along.

Sorry, typed it wrong. I ended up with the correct - area = 1/4 - (root 6)/12 and only then turned it into a fraction over 12 wrong. So would that be 2/3?
