    Hated maths 2! I done brillo in Paper 1, but I knew that no matter how much study I done, It'd still go wrong. Hence, hours and hours of study came in useless ;)

    Also, I was listening to a human rights speech on Youtube said by Bono. It was in no form a study, I done a search on YouTube for Bono as he's my idol, and when I opened up the paper to be greeted by Bono!

    From then on, I basically flew through the test, and forgive my modesty, I am sure I got an honour :P

    Everyone might think CSPE is easy and well it might look it.

    But every exam follows a bell curve.

    Only a small amount of people get As, they choose the best answer. So while your answers might of been enough, anyone who wrote more than you is more likely to get an A/B

    Maths paper 2 was suprisingly nice. Couldn't remember my theorems (though sure I got my attempt marks) and the 'prove this is equal to this' questions were a bit dodgy, but other than that got most things right I think.

    CSPE actually could have gone better :pac: Didn't have a clue who the people on the first page were (other than Bono and Nelson Mandela of course) or what they did, and that course question with the topics and issues? :confused: Made lots of mistakes on those Qs... sure I did okay but I was hoping for an A in that one since it's so simple, not sure about that now.

    That's true. Only 20-25% of candidates get an A. Alot, yes, but you'd think it'd be more. The problem is people don't realise this and do a half-assed project or half-assed exam and end up with a B. Today, practically half the class were leaving the exam hall after writing only a few paragraphs for the last section - after only 30-60 minutes in the exam.

    Omgz, so there's a chance a could only get a B in CSPE? My world is crumbling...

    I've failed maths. I couldn't remember the theorems, skipped all of question 4, question 5 (c) and most of 2 (c) If I actually get a D, I'll be ecstatic.

    CSPE was piss easy, as usual. They even gave us the names this year, they REALLY wanted us to pass.
