I have noticed that, No matter how well I do, in this case I only missed 3 questions out of 23, but that that is only an 85, I felt really confident about the whole thing, and even had the time to check everything two or three times. I never seem to get a hundred, even though I've checked and rechecked the answer, I won't know till Monday what the 3 questions were, thankfully I don't think that the one I spent a lot of time trying to understand was one. So any advice on how to get over the hump and actually get that mythical 100%?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
20 of 23 correct is about 86.9565%, which I might call 87%, not 85%.
 
I. Know but I could almost swear that it said 85. Something percent. I was more asking if anyone had anytime that I might not be doing on tests?
 
@Bahamagreen,
It may be because marks were different for questions.

@Tyrion101,
I always get A* in maths ever since Gr.8.But got a B in grade 7. 65/100.
I got 95 at the first term in Gr.8
The method was to practice.
Algebra was my enemy in gr.7 but with enough practice,it became my best friend.
So practice makes perfect.
Who knows,you may even get 100.
 
Tyrion101, when you get your test back tomorrow, post the three problems you missed and your answers. Maybe we can figure out why you got them wrong.
 
Will do, my usual culprits are, didn't read the question right in the first place, or those sign errors
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
