I used to really enjoy maths but while in high school, I started to lose interest and become more interested in the likes of English and History instead. I like the feeling that maths gives you when you have a big problem with multiple parts to it and you do them in the right order and at the end - with a complete solution - you can look back at all your working with a sense of satisfaction. It's definitely a subject that can make you feel good about yourself if you're good at it.

I was good but not great. I sat my GCSE Maths early and got a B in it. Annoyingly, everyone in the class did pretty badly in the mock exam, whereas I did quite well and came out with one of two A grades. Annoyed that I missed the A grade by literally one or two marks in November of year 11, I resat the exam in June with minimal revision and came out with A. Madness. I never took anything terribly advanced post-GCSE (IB Math Studies is a complete joke and all that my college offered short of the buggeringly hard Higher Level Maths) and so my knowledge of it has dwindled.

I always hated SOHCAHTOA. Not because I hated Trig, just because my year 9 maths teacher had a better (more sadistic) way of teaching it:

The Cat Sat
On An Oven
And Howled Horribly
