Gonna send mine off tomorrow, hopefully get it by next week? :S

EDIT: Pretty nice of them to accept both A and D for Q9, could possibly be what got me across the line.

Thanks! Yeah, from memory they are fairly quick in the weeks after you get results, so I'd say next week for sure!

On track for a fiddy ;)

And don't believe the ~20 tools who come on here and vote that they got full marks in the exam on polls, because they are full of it! :)

For SA question, there's two markers. If one gives the mark and the other doesn't, then that's a half mark.

there not
the exam was marked by two examiners. for question 2biii, an examiner gave luken 3/3 marks, whilst the other gave him 2/3
this is why you will see cutoffs are always out of double the marks allocated to the exam. Eg if an exam is out of 90 marks, you will see the a cutoff, for example, an A+, is 160/180 (or 80/90)
Luken gave u his averaged mark
