So I did the M1 exam this week and it was going really well (got an answer for everything and was reasonably confident) until with about 3 minutes remaining, I noticed that I hadn't seen the final question. Probably the worst feeling I've ever had. I managed to scrape possibly 3 marks out of it in those last few minutes (it was question 8 with the 2 particles joined together with one moving along the horizontal plane and one hanging down off the end). This was the most annoying thing because in all the past papers I was getting about 95%+, so it really doesn't reflect my ability.
That was a 10 mark question so I probably lost about 7 marks on it. Accepting the fact that I would have made several mistakes on the exam paper, I'm taking off perhaps another 6 marks, plus 2 more just for safety haha.
This means I probably got about 80%, and could be less.
The reason I'm asking how people found it is so that we can try and make a guess at what the grade boundaries might be. These are the boundaries for January 2013, which I found was a lot easier than the one we did:
Out of 75, 64 for A; 57 for B; 51 for C; 45 for D.
So how did everyone find this exam? Easy? Hard? Much harder or easier than past papers? Let me know! In my opinion, overall this paper was a fair bit harder than other ones I tried.
