Well, I'm a little annoyed that I made a few 'silly mistakes' but I suppose that is generally unavoidable. From what I see I've gotten 37/40, any ideas at what kind of score (if I got say, 55/60 on the second) + given my rank of the top 3 in school I'm looking at?

According to the answers posted here I got 5+7+9/27 and 11/13 (32/40 = 80%) (Screwed up geo bad lol :|). Reckon a 33 raw still possible?! According to last year it just scrapes in A.

The further exam was relatively good, but I found it to be harder than those of previous years (perhaps because of the provision that specialist maths students are allowed to do it?) I didn't understand about 3 questions overall (my modules were Geometry and Trigonometry, Graphs and Relations, and Business Maths) but hopefully I've done well. Maths definitely isn't my best subject, but it's one I've thoroughly enjoyed all year. Did anyone else find that there were some questions that you had never come across before (e.g. Q9 in Graphs and Relations)? I'm guessing that only the really apt students would be able to get them without ever having experienced a similar question before. Ah well, we've still got Wednesday I suppose...

some one posted this on BOS (lol yes i ventured over)

for a study score of 40 you need atleast: 36/40 in exam 1 and 45/60 in exam 2

(dont know how accurate it is)

According to these answers here I got around 33-34. Not toooo bad, but I'm still pissd at my stupid mistakes.

On question, On the core, Q10, Many of my friends got A (scatterplot). I said E, % bar chart and no one else seemd to get E. But on here, lots of people did. Not sure if im wrong or not...

just depends i may have lost 2 marks in networks which would give me a 38/40... now time to pwn exam 2!!

Yep Im looking at last years grade distributions and according to last years exam you could afford to get a 36/40 to get an A+ (but still doesnt guarentee 40+ SS...)

I thought it was a good exam.
I managed to get 40/40 (judging by the different people's/my friends answers). My 50+ practice exams payed off. Bring on Wednesday so I can secure my 50.

LOL i forgot to mention it was VERY similar to Insight 2007 practise exam
