I got 67. None of the three people that have made the olympiad 4 years in a row (including myself) got into the Maclaurin. However, some of the worst people in the class (GCSE and Add Maths) got the top marks.

Crazy!

How do you know that for definite?

I got to the Kangaroooooo this year. First attempt at the IMC and imo it's more difficult than the SMC :s-smilie:

One of my Year 11s scored 122. I know - I thought that was unreasonably high too!

Wow! Only about 10 of our Year 11 took it (it wasn't compulsory) but the top 60 in year 9 and 10 took it too. I think I should have 98 so I will hopefully squeeze into the Maclaurin, though it's a lot easier than BMO1!

ooo you live in walthomstow? Im from wanstead :biggrin:

firstly silver is NOT bad, it puts you in the top 20% of the country. Also, if you really want to do better, grab the subject by the balls. Your teachers arent driving you hard enough so clearly you need to drive yourself harder. Get a few books (im sure your parents will buy them for you - its for your education), start doing past papers and you'll find that you improve incredibly quickly (sounds sad, so judging by where you live, I wouldn't start telling everybody . I used to be in the same situation, I liked maths but I wasnt being pushed - so I sorted it out myself

If I were you I wouldnt focus on A-level stuff since you'll do that anyway (providing you weant to do a-level maths). You need to broaden your knowledge of maths outside the curriculum (although you'll probably crossover at some point).

This is of course all if you do want to outstrip your peers...

There is no real curriculum in Maths Challenges. Instead, it relies on using unconvential ideas and unique ways of thinking to get the answers. Many questions don't require difficult concepts it's just how you deal with the question. It does take practice though, and past papers are key with most things maths-related.

How did everyone do?
How did you find the paper this year? Easier or harder than last year?

Didn't do it (I only compete in Senior) but i'd love to see the paper if somebody has it.

I'll try and arrange some solutions if somebody can upload it.

Good luck to all but most people don't really take it serious, atleast I only did it for fun.

Tell that to the people who qualify from it to the IMOK and subsequently do well enough to end up in the IMO squad when they are in year 11.
