I got my 5th gold certificate today!!!!!!!! I'm so proud! It's also my 100th Mathletics certificate. It equates to 100 weeks of work, 4 weeks short of 2 years, which makes sense as I joined on May 9, 2010. I've only ever missed 2 weeks, and that was near Christmas '10, as I wasn't in the house for most of the time (I was too busy out and about visiting people). But this is a great achievement and I'm very happy.
Meanwhile I just got 100% on effective interest rate; it's a pretty difficult task, and took me three attempts. I've done a few questions from the test; it's easier to do the questions on one topic as you finish the relevant activity, while it's still fresh in your mind. Now I just need to do 3 more tasks, plus the remaining test questions (I've done them before, on the Year 11 General course, but I don't remember a lot about them).
I also found out from the UKMT website (link in side bar) that the Kangaroo results will be posted in early May (long time if you ask me), which means I've waited ages for them, but there's a bigger problem: I'm not going to school for the whole of May. I break up for study leave on April 27th, which means that I might not get the result until mid-June. I don't think I did very well, so it's not exactly a problem, but of course I would like to know how I did (and get my certificate and key fob)!
