    I was in Easons today and they were stocking out the 2010 edco exam papers. I didn't check if they had codes, but they had all the answers for the maths in the back.

    Would that mean they did it themselves or would of gotten it from the Sec??

    Seems strange considering the marking scheme hasn't been released by the SEC

    They probably paid someone to do the paper.
    I doubt the SEC were involved with a private company.

    They do them themselves but there are always wrong answers, the sec dont release the till after the LC results so nobody can predict how they did! :)

    You don't need a marking scheme to be able to do the paper. Any maths teacher should be able to do it.

    That explains why there's always so many mistakes in them! God the hours I spent trying to work out some answers in maths and then in the end it turned out to be a feckin' misprint >=[!

    hours may be a slight exaggeration..
