Senior Maths Challenge 2017 Boundaries

Hey, I just did the Senior Maths Challenge today as a year 11. Judging by the solutions I received, I believe I got 71, but for one of the questions I can’t remember what I put so it may be 76 I’m not certain. Even if I got 71, anyone with past experience of the smc or anyone who did it this year have any idea what kind of level that would be e.g, bronze/silver (I know it won’t be gold)? I’m quite worried about it seeing as I really wanted a silver in my first year😂

That would most definitely be a silver if you do get 71

Probably silver.

do you think 85 (year 10) will be good enough for SKANG or gold

What do you think the Olympiad boundary will be? I heard it was harder than last year, so I'm hoping my 101 will make the cut...

How are you people so smart? I’m jealous😂 After looking back at the paper I realised there were a couple of questions I could’ve answered but didn’t. Agh. Next time.Really? I’ve not done it before so I don’t know whether it was easier or harder, but typically 100 tends to be the mark they enter people in for the BMO anyway I think.
