WOW, that exam was surprisingly easy!! WTF! I finished in 1 hour.. so I had 1 hour and 15 minutes to go over everything.

There were a few questions that were a bit tricky.. the parents/doctor/health commissioner questions about ethics, the 'close icon' (red x - intuitive???, wtf is that? - is it part of the course??)... and the question about the 'strategy to stop the problem of out of date software'..

OH.. and also.. the formula for the VLOOKUP (sales discount).. I completely forgot how to write a VLOOKUP so meh.. I might've got it?

apart from that I thought I went really well.

Yeah, I reckon it was a pretty easy exam. No tricks or anything. Straight forward. Easier than any trial exam I've ever done.
Anyone know the multiple choices answers yet??? hehehe, a bit early

Rather good exam imo, no real tricky questions or anything. Finished early but just went over my stuff. Overall very happy with it.

IMO, i think it was SLIGHTLY more difficult than last year... I think the cut off will be around the same, maybe 2 or 3 few marks higher.

What was Q5?
And was Q16 the formatting one?

And my only other MC concern was the Q on which graph to use in MC.

Q5: Joe and his memory stick: he pulled it out before the prompt. C: technical, D: procedural
Q16: The schools chess clubs needs a network, the appropriate transmission media. C:wireless, D: UTP

The graph one was Q10, I put D?

Pretty good exam. Had a blast designing the web page.

What did you guys write for the VLOOKUP? I got something like =VLOOKUP(C2,$G$9:$H$11,1)*C2
