What always pissed me off was the show your working bit.
You might get 1 point for the right answer, and the other 3 for showing your working is the way the test wants you to do it.
So I mentally know the answer is 6.6 and I write 6.6... I then have to figure out how I got to that and whether it's the way the test wants you to do it.

I was great at maths and a year ahead until senior school when i fell back to just good, by gcse with the teaching quality plumetting and a lot of non intuitive concepts coming in, and of course the mental load they place on you for this shit, I scraped a c (though still probably top 10 or so in the "school")
A level... Yes. I shouldn't have done a level.

As per usual I'm reminded how I absolutely have to remove my boys from this system before senior school. Seeing vibes in my eldest he could be like me in this and want him to have better.
