Well done on completing the exam everyone!

This thread is to share your answers, I'll collate them later on today into this Original Post. Between us this should create an unofficial mark scheme, allowing people to get an idea of their performance in this exam.

I have no evidence for this though so please dont go by this too seriously

No point in any guess - the examiners have absolutely no idea until all papers are marked.

how did you guys get 1440 mg because i got 4000mg
