How did everyone find the kings maths school exam?

It was easier than expected the only one I know I got wrong was the one with the trapeziums everything else wasn’t that challenging.

Multiple choice questions felt good, section B was obviously harder but did working out for the rest, realised I made one or two silly mistakes but overall happy. How did it go for you, and good luck for everyone also hoping for an interview!

I thought it was alright in general, multiple choice was good but I couldn’t understand one or two of the questions in section B

yes the answer for it was 16, as you had to make the height of one of the trapeziums (10-x) and the other as x, and theen since you knew one trapeziums area was triple the other ones area you could find x and then subtract the area of both trapzeiumss from the entire shape so it wass 100-(63+21)=16cm2. I must admit the test wass surprisingly easy and I believee i got full marks.


Full marks? I’m finished 😭

For most questions I wrote over the amount of lines given but I think I wrote way too much, hence I was really tight on time, but for the easier ones like the number of students one I only wrote a few lines

I would just remember that the people on this discussion are people who think the test went well, those who thought it went badly probably wouldn’t search for it!
@Rshaikhz, please remove the earlier post, as it uncovers details of the test with some students are still to take it

a lot of the time in exams, people who think they did well usually did worse compared to people who think they did worse in a test (illusory superiority). besides, i also think i'm cooked so i have to be a bit delusional...
