Who has the most GCSES/O Levels

(1) Psychometric tests test logic and reasoning. There is no subject requirement, so you can't regurgitate what you "know".
(2) That's the second time you've drawn your conclusions from a sample of 1.
Clearly didn't master the principles of Stats then. I rest my case.

Try to reign in your personal insults when talking to adults.
My points are:

1/ You can learn to pass those tests with practice, so yes the 'regurgitators' will be good at that kind of test.

2/ Anecdotal evidence, that is all. But I've met a few of these memorizer types, they don't really understand the concept but give them a few past papers and they will pass an exam.

Of course thats not to say some bright bunnies go to uni, but there are many of the other types too.

Stop being logical, it's no fun. Where's Chico when you're bored?

10 O's, 3 A's, BSc, MBA, various It certs.
But experience and common sense matters more than any of those.

True - I've got the experience and common sense!

Maths GCSEs definitely don't go as far as the old seventies O-level, no calculus for a start. I did an electronics later (poly I'm afraid, sas) which, as anyone else here who has done it knows, includes loads of calculus - I thought I was learning greek - but I got on that course with my maths O-level.

Looking at today's GCSE maths syllabus (which I have a copy of because my daughter is doing it) I would need an A-level now.

MCP anyone?
