Currently Secure · last touched 2026-10-13

Linked to inequalities on 13 Oct (drawn as a two-sign number line). Still to see: the letter given in the question used first time.

2026-10-13Secure → Secure13 Oct mixed set, cold, non-calc, no cue: pencil 7 cm to the nearest cm, length L: wrote 6.5 at most x less than 7.5, bounds and both signs right, letter x not L, 4 min, 1/1 unaided. Then drew it on paper with L: filled circle at 6.5, open ring at 7.5, joined. Fifth clean error interval; first one drawn on a number line.session 99
2026-09-29Secure → Secure29 Sep starter, non-calc: 4.6 kg to 1 d.p. → '4.55 <= w < 4.65' ✓ unaided, correct symbols and variable. Fourth clean error interval (2, 11, 21, 29 Sep).session 56
2026-09-21Secure → Secureaudit: bar met in session 34 — third clean independent error interval (2, 11, 21 Sep): 3.7 kg to 1 d.p. → 3.65 ≤ w < 3.75, correct notation and variable named, unaided.standalone
2026-09-21Secure → Secure21 Sep starter, non-calc: 3.7 kg to 1 d.p. → 3.65 ≤ w < 3.75, notation and variable correct. Third clean independent error interval (2, 11, 21 Sep).session 34
2026-09-11Developing → Secure11 Sep starter: 12.4 kg to 1 d.p. → 12.35 ≤ w < 12.45, inequality notation correct and variable named. Second clean independent answer after 2 Sep; the notation gap from the 19 Aug exit check now looks closed.session 19
2026-09-03Developing → Developing2 Sep starter: error interval for 8.6 cm to 1 d.p. given as 8.55 ≤ x < 8.65 with correct inequality notation — the exact gap that cost a mark on the 19 Aug exit check. One question only, so no promotion.session 2
