Higher Computing 2008 - some questions

Firstly, I am a bit worried. I have dyscalculia, and I can't do sums or calculations even with a calculator. So, missing out ALL the calculation questions in the exam, what are my chances of a B?

Also, does anyone know what s most likely to come up this year, or what I should focus studying on?

If you did quite well on the coursework you could easily miss out the calculations and still get a high B if not an A. What did you get on the coursework?

Mmm, I got good marks on the practical things we did, I got something like 25 on the truebasic programming I believe, could be wrong as it was a while ago.

Calculations shouldn't be too much of the paper, 10% max maybe?

Ye my teacher said its roughly about 15 marks for caluclations but it can go into the 20's, bt i agree, if you got a good mark on your project then there is more chance of gaining a B!
Does anyone have any inclings as to what will come up?
Apart from registers because thats what my teacher said
