    Thank you. :) This gives an answer of around 340, and it's always been around this.

    I think a lot of people messed that up, thankfully I've been doing those graphs with the last two years so if I got them wrong at this stage, the teacher would be in for it tomorrow. :cool:

    You could well be right, I actually brought it across at the top of the straight part of the graph by accident. Oh well.

    Wow. I only did 4 questions, and finished only about 15 mins early. The incineration took me about an hour.

    Got an A2. Fuming considering I spent countless hours on my project and preparing for the practical.


    Considering the exam's all over now, I thought it'd be appropriate to start posting some photos of our projects.

    Render 1
    <exam material removed pending result appeal>

    Render 2
    <exam material removed pending result appeal>

    I have real photos of it but they're all still on my phone. I may post them later...

    partyatmygaff, that's a pretty bad-ass project. A friend of mine got an A1 this year and his snowmobile wasn't nearly this good. I'd definitely get it rechecked if I were you, unless you screwed up some question in the theory or your practical was a mess.

    That's what's annoying me...

    I got 98% in my Mock theory exam and never got below an A1 since the start of fifth year. My practical exam went fine too. I honestly don't know how I only got an A2 when I was set all year for an A1.

    That project is miles better than the one I made. I wasn't too confident about the theorey exam either and I thought I'd get a B yet I got an A1. I would definatly get that rechecked if I were you.

    You'd be foolish to leave that unchecked.
    I got an A1 and my model wasn't nearly as good.

    I will be getting it rechecked, no doubt about it. The only problem is that the ten extra points will have come too late to have any effect :(
