Your responses are sent only for aggregate scoring. They are not added to analytics or saved as a user attempt. This tab keeps the attempt for up to two hours so an authentication return does not erase it.

What you receive

  • Score and accuracy
  • Correct, incorrect and unanswered counts

Scope and limitations

  • This covers the BS entrance only; MSc Mathematics has separate navigation.
  • The Part B sample is not auto-scored and its protected solution is not included.

Public Part B problem sample

Suppose five complex numbers $z_1,z_2,z_3,z_4,z_5$ form the vertices of a regular pentagon inscribed in a circle of radius $2$ with center $c=6+8i$. - Find all possible values of $S=z_1^2+z_2^2+z_3^2+z_4^2+z_5^2$. State a value of $z_1$ maximizing $|S|$. - Find all possible values of $P=z_1z_2z_3z_4z_5$. State a value of $z_1$ minimizing $|P|$.
