Quite liked the exam. The copper purity question was nice.

Think I did okay, only 5 marks with dodgy answers.

That was a ridiculously easy exam... Anyone else find it easier than usual? Finished it with an hour to go, re read it like 5 times, almost fell asleep

I think this might be because it's the first year of a newish study design. You guys got lucky!

If anyone managed to grab a copy of the exam, please post it here: Good luck + copy of the 2013 exam.

It was easy and short, which isn't a good thing. Preferably I would've liked a harder exam, just gunna mean it's harder to get an A  now..

Seemed easier compared to other years. Sad, cut off will be high then.
Had to guess some MC and had trouble with one part of one question of the SA with the heat produced or something.
Thought we had 2 hrs so rushed at the end but at least got time to check over.

I couldn't answer it. I think I calculated the number of moles as my first line, stared at it blankly, and then did the rest of the straightforward af question.
In other news - how easy was the last question? I was expecting something really nasty and exotic, but I think I might've full marked it.

That's what I got. I might have rounded to 80% though, I don't exactly recall...

But, I made so many careless mistakes gosh, hope i got all of them when I double-checked.
