Posted: March 6, 2023

A big congratulations to Glenmary’s Norbert Kovacs, who scored 100 percent on his Math 30-1 Diploma Exam. We did a short interview with Norbert and the Q & A is below.
- When you finished writing your Math 30-1 diploma exam, did you have a feeling that you were going to get a high grade?
Yes, I was confident that I would get a high grade. I didn’t expect to get 100 percent.
- What was your study schedule like for this exam? How many hours did you put in each day before the exam?
Only a few hours. I would work on extra math practice questions and old diploma tests.
- Did you study alone, or as part of a group?
I studied alone.
- Are there any teachers, staff members, tutors, friends, or family (anyone) that you want to thank that may have helped you prepare for your exam?
A friend told me about the old diploma practice tests website. He said the tests gave you an idea of the exam. He said there was a question they didn’t cover in class, but the old diploma practice tests were helpful. I would like to thank all my teachers.
- Do you have any tips or suggestions for students to prepare for this type of exam?
Do the old diploma practice tests.
- What are your post-secondary school and career goals?
My plan after high school is to attend the Engineering program at University of Alberta. I hope to get hired for the Engineering summer student job.
- What are some of your hobbies and favourite activities outside of school?
I enjoy coding and learning other new programming languages such as C++.
