exam was very short, I found myself looking for more questions because I thought it'd be A LOT longer than 90mins. The exam was... different, almost no telecom, limited things regarding materials. No social/historical/environment contributions? I wasn't prepared for discussing boats and gutters but oh well, hope it went well, I think ill get somewhere between 70-80% for it

What did everyone get for the force required to stop the boat from slipping? something like 0.4 kN?

what q's do you think made you lose 10?
Just silly mistakes, not reading the question properly and fudging some questions (the ferry)

should have been just over 0.7
Should be 0.78kN (used g=10)

What did everyone get for MC? I got:
1)C
2)C
3)B
