In VCE maths is the symbol '@' allowable?

x.x I'd much prefer to write two simple letters 'at' than spend 54608405870954 years putting a curved line around an 'a' and making an examiner cry.

its fun to annoy examiners knowing they cant take a mark off you for it

i've heard some fairly weird stories, a "pretty smart" guy i know of, probably 2 years back now, did all his calculations for a methods exam sideways
so like, he rotated the paper 90 degrees and did it
just his graphs were the right way round, he ended up getting an A+ for that exam (Exam 1) LOLL!

Oh my god! That is golden! I'm sure there's other people who do that, too. *Develops evil ideas to piss of examiners but not lose marks*

its a rumour though, i dont know if he actually did it or not

Still, you'd have to be pretty persistent to do that

I still respect the guy my methods teacher taught about 5 yrs ago who instead of using 'x' for algebra, used 'peter' instead, and got a 50.

Wow! Lol

How can people get 50's? God.. I feel so dumb, because I'm going to be lucky to get a study score of 38 in psychology!

I'm in the same boat, a 50 is so far from where I am atm.

ahaha, what?! but i thought that usually variables are defined for you in methods, like i rarely see problems where you have to define variables
or did he use peter every time there was an x? hahaha!

i timed myself writing the @ symbol and "at" 20 times, in a readable fashion, "at" was faster - case closed

why the hell would you do that?
