Personally, MCQ was a step up compared to previous years whilst short answer was pretty easy compared to other years (I'm looking at you 2011 :P )
Overall, finished with 15 minutes to spare checking over MCQ since they were the ones that stumped me in the end :@

A few people were also in the same position as me at school too... Seeing a A+ cutoff or 72/80 if not higher imo :|

It's better than not finishing with adequate time to check over answers, leading to careless mistakes and having to guess MC
When you put it that way... I agree.

Overall a very easy exam 2, which is bad for me because I guessed the last multiple choice question and the very last short answer (only got one tangent equation not both) so at least 3 marks gone - while a lot of people would have aced that whole thing hahha hopefully I can still hit over 46 with only losing two marks on exam 1 hahahha yes I got 2031! Did everyone get 2 for v^3+u^3 that last multichoice I had no clue I guessed e but everyone says it was a

Chuck - for 5cii. I had d < 1.
If d > 3 wouldn't you have two negative x solutions?
I may be wrong - just checking.

Suggested solutions by Chuck got u^3 + v^3 = 4 which is what I got. :)

Do you still get full marks if you gave an exact answer instead of 'correct to two decimal places' ? think i may have done this for question 3)a

Yeah I don't get why d>3?
