It was harder than last years for me. I would say like 36/40 maybe

Do consequential marks exist for exam 1? Well Is this counted as one? I worked out the wrong area in part B and so when i subbed in 5/2 and stuff to check whether the area is bigger or smaller than .5, it gave me smaller sooo i said lower

It did not specify, but considering we are meant to work in radians. You might, however since it was hard they may be more lenient.

dont think so. i recko itll stay the same (36/40) or go higher 36.5/40 or 37/40.
really dont think this was a hard exam ahhaa , nothin g ridiculous on here, if they had a really hard stats question on here, then maybe, but yeah, no lower than 36/40 me thinks (has remained similar for like last 3 years) but if it does go lower, better for me haha
