How many do you need to pass?

Top of the class!
You've scored 15 out of 15.

Maths is easy.  That vocab one wasn't so great

I find maths relatively easy, language a little less so, but a couple there had me thinking for a while - quite tough for the average eleven year old I think.

Was only looking at this as I think it was in one of the big weekend papers that one of the questions in Maths GCSE O level this year was along the lines of

1. Write the number 500,000 in words.

Kind of ridiculous I thought, I'm sure it was like most examples in that it was hand picked to make a point but did seem silly easy for a serious exam
