Pleasure and pain. They’re not opposites. They’re neighbors … separated by a thin line, by a split second.
One minute you’re feeling like everything is going your way … like you’re ready to climb the highest mountain … headed for the top of the world.
But in the game of life you never know.
You train for years to get a piece of personal glory or a chance to stand toe to toe with your peers and say, “Here I am. Take your best shot.” Then the contest begins and BANG! — you’re down for the count.
It’s not your day. You tried your best. But was it really your best?
So do you go home with a broken

I found it quite easy and unchallenging compared to other exams.

I screwed up relativity though, didn't leave enough time for it...going to bring down my score along with other probable lost marks along the way.

Predicting 82/90 so 91%:
-2: failed calculations in motion and forgot to check over them because spent 20 mins staring at the blocks question
-1: the LED graph was not suppose to touch 0 because it was always on
-1: too fob and couldn't explain modulation
-2: apparently the whole thing was in tension
-2: the truss question; AC (at an angle) compression, BC (hori) tension
Hopefully the A+ mark is lower than previous years :D

You won't lose marks for sig figs, unless they're like ridiculous (something like 1.343726273828191)
