Yeah they do :confused: I have a copy of FM1 and I've definitely seen a copy of FS1. I hope whoever choose to do FP1/2 realise that those textbooks are out at all yet :lol:

Ohhhh... that makes more sense... that's a bit rubbish though... You would expect that they had at least some copies by now

Good luck to everyone sitting their applied exam today, I'm sitting it in 5 minutes so hopefully I have been blessed
Good luck everyone!!
Good luck guys! I'm sure you are going to smash it today! :dance:
Good luck everyone!
Lunch then straight into the exam for me now :afraid:
Hoping for a nicer paper than Monday's :lol:
How did it go guys?
How did people find that?
Stats wasn't as nice as sometimes, too much poisson for my liking and question 1e required a stupid number of decimal places to be accurate.
Mechanics was pretty nice, no impulses or anything :smile: What did people get for the last question (x in terms of d)?

It was evil, did pretty badly :/ I probably missed 3 marks per question at least... I did so much work for it and all for nothing
