Congratulations on 1 of 2 exams completed!
Interested to hear what people thought of the difficulty and questions (especially since it's the second year of the new study design) - comparable to the 2016 Exam 1? Or to the 2017 Northern Hemisphere (which was notably harder)?

Yeah I definitely struggled with the scale. For some reason I kept on getting the gradient of line BC to be 1 at x=1 on the graph of y=f(x), which seemed wrong...

Hahahaha I think I completely stuffed it, I don’t remember what I got for the coordinates of ‘c’ but I had fractions with 27 at the bottom I think :(

I got fractions of 27 too! I kind of got a negative y-coord for C though, so I just made it positive  :-\
