Maths Test... Unfair... Yelp Moi!

[Scorpio]

Today I had an extremely hard maths test that the maximum amount of time you are allowed on it is 1hr. It's Wednesday so it was cut to 45mins (Wednesdays are short here) and the teacher spent 25 mins telling us. We had 20minutes to do a rock hard test of 25 questions. Im in year 8 and the teacher said it was gcse standard... HOW IS THAT FAIR?!?!

What should i do? Complain or forget? I managed to do 15 questions and i guessed on 3 in the last 10 seconds... :[

Help!

yeh a lot of tests are like that, The older you get the harder it is, no point complaining, shes just preparing you for the future. Some tests can get up to 100 marks in 1 hour, and there is plenty of writing. I only just scraped a pass, missed out about 35 marks worth

It's really annoying, people in my class expect me to do well so i have pressure on me all the time. Should i just let it go? Mind you my other friends are just as miffed at our teacher.

We weren't told about it so everyone was annoyed :) But 20 mins to do it was rediculous! x]
