    Same, I got n=13, but 7 is the correct one found out afterwards...
    Hopefully I'll get some working marks

    totally agree.. it was the only challenging question and i think i got it wrong, but hopefully some points for method and im expecting an 80-85
    Agreed... I guessed and after the tiniest bit of working put down n=7, so hopefully should get at least 3/7 for that. I'm expecting anything above 80 too, I need that 7!

    Ah the irony of question 7. I did well though, I think full marks.

    It was so much easier than the past papers... don't think I did an easier one.

    What was the joke first question? Can't remember.

    I got a 5. No idea how - I really thought I'd failed. I never thought I'd be so happy to see a 5 on my results slip!

    Getting a 7 in SL is easier than passing HL..

    I actually didactic hl. Exam to practice and I passed with less difficulty than getting the 7 in standard level. Also if you did hl why are you on the sl thread

    Taking one exam for practice is much much different than taking the actual course -.- Hmm a friend of mine got 2's and 3's in HL but when he dropped down to SL he got 95% or higher in all the exams. My teacher says there is a big difference between the courses as well...

    I know there is a big difference but a 3 is a pass so on that basis I don't think it is easier to pass HL than get a 7 in SL

    It might differ between people. 4 is passing and a 3 is a fail (just like in every other subject)..
