    I though it went well. Perspective was great. Aced roofs, hyperbolic parabaloid went good also. Mining was easy exsept for part b which i found tricky

    **** of a paper.

    Made a lot of mistakes also.

    Might've cost me my "necessary" A1 but I don't give a ****. If I don't get my points (looking likely) I have other choices, I don't think I'll ever do any such braindead hell as the leaving cert again.

    I'm really happy :D

    I thought mining part B was piss easy!

    Damn roofs......

    Think i can still get an A1 without part c of roofs and without the correct angle in Oblique plane (paper 1)???

    2c involved drawing a right-cone with inclination 65deg at two points: where F/G meets E and where E meets C. Then a tangent to the base of both cones would show you where F/G meets B.

    I didn't sit the exam but q6 looks nasty to me, what did people think of it? I don't think I've seen a question with a paraboloid between 2 flat inclined surfaces before.

    I found it easy enought to be honest, more so than many other years

    6 was easy enough to draw, just simple extensions from the small part of the roof you only need the elements going out but not up, curvature was piss aswell, however my plane directors were a disaster, i got one to be on the x,y line
