School Bells

Hold that thought, Neely - I'm on my way, just have to drag myself away from yet another party. :Yawn:

But you still passed the Maths test, didn't you?

School bells over 3 years and never did I think I would go.
They don't ring so bad after all. :)

No failed, but only by two. There not real or for anything though. What annoyed me, really annoyed me, is that Mrs Neely beat me by one on both the English and the Maths. I was not happy about that at all.:mad:

Just got two assignment results back: 74% and 68%. Not very pleased with myself :(

Hee, hee, passed the maths!! 19/28, thrown the gauntlet down to Mrs Neely, ha, ha...

I got 19/28 on my first try with the maths, but the mental arithmetic part is brutal, I don't think I've ever been able to do math that quickly in my head.

Yes it is nasty, you can use paper though to jot down the numbers, I didn't know that the first time.

If anybody else wants to join in the fun, :shocked: here are the tests:

Oh ya I should have done that, there were a couple times that I just missed a number and couldn't answer.

That would have knocked up your score a bit.

I'm too old for the maths. I could do all that 15 years ago, but I'm getting on for 33 now - still I passed though!!

I'm just bad at multiplication in my head, I can do fractions and percentages, but multiplication is trickier.

Edit: I got 35/48 on the English test, I bombed the punctuation part.

Congratulations! You'll be free for a beach party in St Tropez then?

Yes I'm getting scores around that but some of the punctuation is subjective in places I feel. Also there are genuine mistakes/website errors later on in the English ones which makes it harder to score for sure.

:lol:Yes yes Paris and Rome are sooo last week. The beach party in St Tropez is just the thing, could do with a little tan anyway, might as well take advantage of the free-vintage-champagne-exclusive beach party as well. Meet you there 'round five. Organic BBQ for 6/6.30.

Back in the other universe, beat Mrs Neely on the practice maths test...:)?:sosp:??:rolleyes:???:mad:...

I hate assignments!! If only we could study and learn but not have so many of these to write! This one is very difficult; don't know how to begin.

First day of college tomorrow, this should be interesting.

What are you studying, Big D?
