Hot damn that exam was easy!

I would definitely say one of the easiest ext 2 exams so far.
Shame i screwed up question 1 and skipped most of 4 and 7.
I didnt get more than 60% but I know that was just from being ill prepared. I expect you all to be amazingly happy with how you went.

Easier than expected but still hard. Had absolutely no clue with the probability.

A lot easier than the other years/trials by far! Ran out of time for the entire probability question :(

what mark do you guys think would be the cutoff for E4 for this year? would it be 90+?/120

Thank God i could do it so efficiently compared to other papers...

i didnt get p2 and p3 of circle geo and the probability though :S

altogether, my max mark is in the low 100's (i'm guaranteed to lose 11 marks so far)

I liked the test, straightforward, not too easy, not too hard

LOL wow.. Many found it easier than last year's.
For me, I thought it was harder than 06-08, which I killed.
But I didn't really kill this one...

was an easy paper, but:

"I would have lost a few marks in dodgy/not thorough enough explanations, numerical errors, and a question which i didn't notice until the last minute and would be lucky to get 1/2 for..

I have no idea how i found it honestly. I didn't find the paper too bad as a whole, but i'm pretty disappointed, i don't think i did anywhere near as well as i should of, threre were a fair few questions i struggled with that i really should of been able to do.

I couldn't even get Q1c) and e) out.
Me either! Well i'm glad it wasn't just me, i nearly killed myself while sitting there looking at 7 marks in question 1 that i couldn't do. Most frustrating thing of all is pretty much as soon as i got in my car afterwards i knew how to do them. :mad1:
