I don't know if it was because the areas tested were the ones that I was less confident in but I actually found that paper quite challenging. Sadly I didn't even get a chance to attempt the last question  :-*

On the brightside, I'm glad I never have to look at extension 2 again!
And I'm hoping extension will be decent

Hi,

(or the approx. mmin mark for an E4 in MX2 for last year 2015?)

-just wanted to see how I roughly went....

Probably about the same. Around 70

Is that the raw or scaled mark?

Raw.

After alignment, the cut-off for an E4 is obviously 90.
