Which is easier

All i keep hearing from people is how much easier exam 2 is compared to exam 1. Am i the only one who feels the opposite? sure exam 1 has some iffy questions but at least its multiple choice. Some of the earlier questions in exam 2 may be a cinch but some of the later questions make up for it. idk i tend spend at least 20 min more on practice exam 2s... is this the case with anyone?

The way I see it - if you "get the question" you can answer a/b/c/d/etc. and get full marks for it. If you have no idea, you're in trouble since there's no ABCDE guessing.

With that being said, exam 2 is slightly easier IMO. If you are careful with rounding, there's no reason not to do exceptionally well. Also because it isn't MC, you're more likely to think about the actual question instead of basing your work around the proposed answers.

Personally, exam 2 is easier than exam 1; the questions are much more straight forward except for the occasional theory question which can sometimes be tricky.
