That exam was pretty hard :frown:

But uhm i am guessing around 30 to get an A* and 25-ish to get an A. I really want to go and check the answers to roughly know what i got :confused:

Thank you so much! If these are the complete correct answers, I think I probably got 27/28 which I'm really happy with because I was stressing out so much after the exam! I also found the test really hard! Really appreciate it, thank you! :smile:

I'm not gonna bother looking the answers just gonna relax and wait to see what I got - but you lot are lucky! Our examiner was coughing through the ****ing exam! We're applying for special consideration considering she coughed over questions lol!

I think I got around 30! I hope the grade boundaries shift so that it can be a high UMS mark! :biggrin:

I'd love to get around 35/40

I think I got around 31. I was wondering, do you think on the last question part a), I would get away with saying an affectionate family rather than caring? And an art gallery instead of a museum of art?
