Generally I thought the paper was pretty straight forward. Following the X2 paper that made me want to cry, I figured this paper would be equally hard. They must have made it super easy inn response they got to last year's paper. Hoping for an E4

nucgaek I then said that n=4,8,12... would that also be marked right?? I didn't specifically say that n was a multiple of 4...
Maybe, maybe not. Remember that n can also be 0 so if they're picky, you could get docked for that

I have a bad feeling that the cutoff may rise to 55/70, which is going to be a horrible sign coz the standards of MX1 are dropping quite significantly :/

Guys this is random but could you help me with this, I think I went okay for 3U but I don't know if i did well enough for it to count. So could you explain what does the BOS take into account when selecting your best 10 units?

I definitely feel great about this exam (from a 2U + 3U student's perspective), i thought they might pull something hard like in 2011 paper, which i only got like 50ish for that out of 84.
If the E4 cut-off is around 50ish, then yeh i think ill be confident. Predicting my mark to be 45-60, mostly likely ~53.

This might be a dissapointing exam for 4U students as 3U is very important for them, and they might feel they have been cheated since a lot of people like me (2U+3U) will probably score just under them since it was a very capable, nah scrap that term hahah. More like perfect exam for us =D
