It looked easy in the reading time, but I spent so much time on question 4 (the space station one) that I had to leave a lot of questions blank...
Also, I was confused by the second half of question 3.
2012 ATAR - 86.75
2013 ATAR - 88.50
2014: BSci (Statistics) at RMIT

second half of question 3 (second last part) was v dodgy.
TThink they'll give multiple similar answers IMO (all effectively the same, but diff)

What's worse? Losing 1 mark in Exam 1 or losing 1 mark in Exam 2?
