I feel like making these questions more wordy leaves a lot of room for bias in the questions. For example, the phone repair one, while easy enough for me to parse, seemed to rely on the basic understanding of how a repair/maintenance company might work. Again, really simple example that I don't expect people to mess up, but I think it shows that there could be a problem.
- anon4 11y agoThe phone one was a bit grating because the numbers didn't have any quantities attached to them. Though of course that would make the question trivial, if I wrote something like "P = 108 - 23*d", I'd get marks off and a big (WHAT?) next to the numbers. Without specifying 108 whats it is, it could be 108 peppers or 108 bicycle-riding monkeys wearing suits. It's more of a common sense question than an actual mathematics question.
