How're they going at the moment?
Excluding an outlier, I'm getting between 56-66 so far

saved a few interesting ones for the day before the exam, will probably redo one of the earlier ones every few weeks or so to keep fresh, otherwise i just use step to keep my skills sharp

Anything in particular that takes your time up? Or is it more a general thing?

i'm after an a* as well, pretty sure I'm 90+ over D2 and S2. It's going to be tough on a week Monday

I totally mucked up M2 and D2 was okay but I cant count on it think I got high 90+ on S2 but it means I've really gotta smash FP2

oh man, I'm not even mentioning m2 because i did absolutely terrible in it. (luckily we're taking 4 a2 units.)

in d2, i know i've lost 3 marks AND then on the last question I didn't make the negative values into positives (they asked for absolute) and so my dynamic programming table has negatives in it as well etc.. I got the correct route tho. I am hoping that this one mistake doesn't cost me lots of marks !!!

Well done on s2, it was a nice paper.

That doesn't sound too bad, I think I got the wrong augmented flow on the network and got the wrong route for the first part of the last question but I don't know how hoping it's not too many marks
Any suggestions for hard fp2 papers or questions(excluding 2015)? Bit bored atm

Jan 2012 is probably the hardest paper I've done and I've done all but 2 of them, the last 2 questions are not nice and brings up some fp1 summing series too
