Didn't it say ten larger than the number weird way to say it assume it means +10

I think I might've just read it as ten times larger

I found it alright! I know most of my classmates really didn't. I thought section a was lovely, section B took me more time than I thought because I overcomplicated it - I normally do it in like 15 mins but the stress got to me and I ended up taking 25-30. One of the questions was worded a bit strangely (Something about sets and lists?) but section C was quite nice. Section D was the hardest of the few, but eventually I got it all working in the end so hopefully full marks for that.

I thought the paper was quite hard in sections and quite easy in some. I'm sorry for people who found it hard - that was me with physics paper 2 on monday...

I think it was 10 more rather than 10x but could be wrong

In the examples given it showed it being calculated as (3+10) or whatever, was definitely +10. It said 10 more than the number iirc

i forgot how to do 2D arrays (python) 💀💀💀💀 overall it went FINE I mean the theory went way better than the programming, I managed to get the 5 marker,8 marker and the 12 marker working though

felt alright overall, hoping ive scraped a decent few marks on all the coding questions but that defo felt harder than 2024 so im hoping the grade boundaries reflect that

I am actually so grateful they didn't make us code in bracket support

But I wasted SO much time trying to make the exponentials read right to left but then I only read the question fully later and saw that I would get most of the marks if I kept it as left to right

possibly the worst paper 1 I've ever seen, reckon i still did alright but everyone i spoke to who's normally good at the programming thought it was shite

I said 99 cause if the list was fully reversed, once you have the second smallest sorted, the smallest item is sorted automatically cause it is swapped to the start
