    Ok I'm suddenly finding myself outraged
    The SEC has also indicated that it is hopes to issue the 2011 DCG Student Assignment Briefs in September 2010.
    If they knew from last year that the timing of the project was so ridiculous why on earth did they see no issue with putting us through it?

    On a side note I'm screwed today, grr..

    my teacher said to go into the exam hall early & ask to "inspect the paper" before the exam starts! you can then draw in your borders or whatever. borders arent compulsury, but they improve you persentation, which has marks going for it!
    I have an awful bad habit of judging my drawings wrong so they end up going off the page & I have to stick an extra bit of page to the side of my own! do you think I'll be marked down dramatically for that?

    the neatness required in the leaving is just neatness in actually answering the question given, it doesn't give you any marks but by being sloppy an examiner might not be able to see how you did something, and hence you might not get the deserved marks.

    If you really insist on drawing borders go for it, but I wouldn't be wasting any of my 25min on a question doing that. Remember the way we were meant to write math proofs at JC level? You wouldn't do that now either.

    Actually that brings up a question, is it one page per question or just whatever you can fit on the sheet? or is that the same thing?

    Easy enough exam.

    And turns out we didn't need masking tape!
    In my exam centre, masking tape, t squares, a rubber and a pencil were all supplied in addition to the exam paper and drawing sheets. :D:p
