    OCR (NOT MEI) - D1 Exam - January 2012
    Howdy everyone...

    How did everyone go? :confused:

    I found the paper a bit easy, hopefully will scrape an A first time taking.

    P.S - I self taught myself the whole module, teachers at school are rubbish! :rolleyes:

    EDIT: Why the neg? Offended I was able to self-teach this module? Ego-problems? I'd like to hear.

    What did you guys get for the 8 mark Tour Improvement question?

    (There was only one 8 mark question in the paper if it helps.)

    got 970 as my upper bound.
    really hoping for an A, got A's in every past paper but today, i messed up the 8 marker and got a couple of others wrong too.
    really disappointed, i think i'll resit in the summer, even if i get like a b or something. :/
