2015 Australian Maths Competition

[TheAspiringDoc]

For my school senior cohort it was compulsory so a lot of people probably didn't try.
I myself tried it and yea, it was pretty tough. We did the non-calc senior papers and I knew what I was doing until half-way through, then started getting vague to the point of using a process of elimination. Had no Idea about the last 5 so yea, did some very vague processing and guesstimate. I'm not the smartest nad brightest so I'm probably going for a credit. Pretty sad that I had a blank about forgetting how to multiply large numbers though. T__T

Yeah lol - I realised I'd forgotten long subtraction!
Anyone got their results back yet?

My school doesn't have the certificates yet, but we've been emailed the results (as in our school has).

I know I certainly haven;t, but I do know we're going to get alot of participation certificates though lol. Hope I don't get one of those tho. I did take a spare exam paper with me so I have this years AMC I did in my folder. Might take it out and check it out again haha.

hahaha I'm *secretly* hoping for a HD but more likely a extremely high D with my luck probably top 6% and a single guess off a HD

Fuark, that's mad! Congrats!!!

I missed out on a prize, unfortunately, but i came first in the year at my school (surprisingly) so that's pretty exciting

I got a prize (don't know my score yet though) 
Strategy: totally ignore the last five questions and the people throwing paper planes at you lel

Grats, well deserved!

It'll be in the high 80s at the very least (esp in intermediate cutoffs are generally ~90)

My school had an impressive batch of year 7s i think, there were like 10 prizes
