I only got 4 out of 10. But I expected to have 7. But I seem to get by quite well without algebra. I’m c**p at maths. I only got 4 out of 10. But I expected to have 7.

I don't know why, but I ALWAYS forget the mode -- maybe because I haven't had any practice with it since college... Thanks, too, for the "MathCounts" link -- looks to be a valuable resource!

I got 10/10, but only because I was extra careful on the stats question. I also recommend the MathCounts program http://www.mathcounts.org/ as a source of challenging, middle-school level math problems. That was moderately challenging.
