    The main difference I note is that you can't bring in a calculator to this years exam. In some of the sample papers, some of the questions can have some maths that would be very time consuming without a calculator. What do people think? Will there just be less of these questions this year?

    Any other changes people have seen?

    I thought this was always the case? I'm pretty sure we weren't allowed use calculators in 2010. I really don't think they're needed. The answer choices are never so close that you need the precision of a calculator to decide between them.

    From what I can see, some of the gradmed papers are throwing in natural logs and stuff like that, can be fairly confusing whenever you see them!
