    The Marking was slightly unusual compared with other years. Previous years were out of 100 marks in total. This year for some reason was out of 200 marks. Weird????????

    i noticed this also, however my teacher decided to tell me after the exam was finished that the SQA are now excluding Half marks! what was originally awarded a half mark is now one complete mark, hence the number of marks have increased by two!

    How did u find this years paper?

    I stupidly chose to teach myself this subject and found the exam insanely hard. The electronics and some of the systems were fine. but did anyone find the structural questions quite difficult. I have never done a question where you need to know the walls thickness.
