Ha! I really hope you were trying to be ironic Viv. If so thats the funniest post you've made in a long time!

19/20 sweet! Although I got stuck on the spelling of Accommodation for some reason. It was so obvious when I looked again. I'm looking forward to the maths exam!

I loved english lessons.

Don't joke, my mum used to do that to my homework! I think I was once close to stabbing her in the eye after she'd marked my 5 page 5000 word essay.

Surely that'd be the job of your teacher?

Nope... my mum used to mark it first before I handed it in. She loved english and thought it was the most important lesson along side maths; which means that I always had to hand in perfect english work.

Cool, I got 23 out of 20 under those rules!

Not bad, although I hate it when you get "Judy goes 4.56 miles in 2 minutes..." I was never generally any good those types of questions.

Shocking. 12. My maths when I have to do everything in my head is awful.

I'm too scared even to attempt it. I prefer it when people can hold the illusion that I'm realtively bright. Why would I do anything to disprove that?!

20 out of 20. But in my opinion question 17 is wrong. It should be 2 or -2. You don't have enough information to decide which it is.

You mean clicking on the link, installing Flash, restarting the browser, having it crash, un-installing Flash, restarting the browser again and then coming back here to ask "What's the question?", right?

What's the question?

I really need superscript bbCode for this, but:

x[squared] + 3y - 7 = 0

If y = 1, what is the value of x?
  1. -3
  2. 3
  3. 2

Maybe -2 is a possible answer, but since it's multiple choice and it's not one of the choices, I'd say it's fine.

Thus proving one of the two reasons I hate multiple choice as an examination method. The other one being the ability to guess.

Ok, I could do that pretty easily, so maybe I might dredge up enough bravery to look at the test. At least I know I'll get one right.

I used notepad to do it. But then I was also taught at school to show my working, so I'm not classing that as cheating. If I'd used a calculator, that would have been cheating.
