It was not great but not too bad. I think I did the power of a test question wrong. How did you find stats?


I wasn't too sure about that one. I found the probabilities that x was in the critical regions given that we now know lambda is 7, added them together, then took that from 1. But I then expressed it as a percentage. I'm not sure if you're allowed to express it as a percentage. Overall though I found it alright, but I did better in discrete than stats. How did you find mechanics?

I’m sure that’s fine, after all the power of a test is still a probability. Mechanics was probably worse than stats.

I found Discrete really good But Mechanics a disaster, ran out of time otherwise probably could have done better. thought my mechanics was stronger then my Discrete as well.

Stats was alright, not the best. I’m not sure if it’s enough to make up for all the mistakes I made in the other papers

How did you find paper 1 and 2?

Paper 1 was ok. paper 2 was quite rough, but not as bad as my mechanics paper.

Paper 2 was alright, paper 1 was a bit more difficult
How did people find the pure papers back in October? Pretty sure I'll be doing them for my mocks in a couple of weeks.
