    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.
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

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

        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.
