Counted about 15 marks lost from teachercol's mark scheme, then subtracting a few more for a not getting the specific wording correct (this is bound to happen) gives me about 82/100.

I guess

G484: 90/90
G485: 139/150
G486: 54/60

So yeah

Why even ask? :rofl:

each individually will be an A* so together they're bound to be

I'm really not sure if I've done enough for an A*.

Around 47/60 in G484 and 88/100 in G485, but only 33/40 in the practicals, :s Already 18 UMS lost, and I think with those marks, I'll probably lose more than 12UMS over the two exams

Praying that my AS resits make up 90% so I have room for error in this

Too many little mistakes were made in this exam imo.
Harsh marking gives me 69/100 which according to teachercol is about 77%.

And my teacher didn't even bother marking the coursework for AS and A2, he just sent it off :facepalm:

What's the general consensus for this paper? Harder? Easier?
Imo, I found this one harder than last years due to the rise of MedPhys questions...
