Got anally penetrated. WTF was that? 7 pages longer than last years exam! Didn't have a clue about the alternative measure question and limitations-_- drainer!! Does anyone have the solutions for multiple choice part?

Probs get like a 50-60/90! Hope the cut off mark for a B is around there -_- might push a 65/90 if multiple choice was aced!

Way too many pages and too many 6 markers.

Honestly, how did you finish!
I did 5 MC in my head in reading time then finished and checked MC by 3:30 pm then I wrote like hell after that. It also helped that a couple of questions were exactly the same as Compak 2012 and that another two were the same as ones in the CPAP examples of model answers to possible questions.

It was so long that A+ might be the same cut-off as 2010, which was 74/90. You can probably still get a great mark.

I really want to see what it was like (and write a set of solutions as well).

Multiple choice wasn't hard. Maybe one or two odd questions?
Can anyone predict what I will get with A grade SACS and a bad (C) exam? I think I did terribly. My cohort is strong.

Pretty sure it was local car prices decreasing..? Or something like that (due to lack of competition from foreign markets, etc.). iirc.

i think it was local car prices increasing, due to greater demand for local vehicles..not sure though

for MC 2, increased tariffs, less competition in domestic and overseas cars, therefore price of cars go up
