    So we were only supposed to write on the exam script but we are not supposed to write on the exam script. Oh right

    Do you have comprehension issues?

    No I don't. Your previous comment just never made sense for me.

    Edit: Your explanation above clarified your point. Sorry.

    The script was the booklet. So we were allowed to write on the script.

    As long as you labelled the answers correctly, it should not make a bit of a difference.

    I used the ammortisation formula for both the financial math questions.. Was I right?

    You were right for the second one but not the first because the amortisation formula can only be used for loan repayments. But the first question was about saving money.

    Yes.

    :P Not trying to be pretentious, you asked the question, I'm confident I did. I'm in a Pilot school by the way.

    Did you make any mistakes you know of? There is one that I realized shortly after leaving, killed me a little inside

    My friend reckons he aced it completely, but he could be all talk. :P

    I'd say I have a high B1, possible A2 at the moment but definitely not an A1. Depends completely on P2, if I do a flawless P2 I am in with a shot of an A1, but to be honest I would be over the moon with a B1/A2 since I was expecting to end up with a low B after doing some of the exam papers. :)

    All the answers that I could remember I checked with friends and the answers given on here, and they're all right as far as I know, so I'm fairly confident :)

    I expect p2 to be more challenging if you can compare the two

    you reckon you get something if you get 100% in a paper?

    What do you mean, like a special prize or something? Or was this sarcastic? Sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet :P

    But no, not as far as I'm aware, I mean you won't even know unless you check your script, I guess.

    chances are we made some mistake. Even a wrong sign infront of a number changes the answer dramatically

    Not for Maths, there are people every year who are getting full marks, there are some kids out there who almost find it difficult to make mistakes if you know what I mean, and with how much easier maths has gotten there can only be more of them.

    I must have comprehension issues too, then, because I had to read your comments twice before I figured out what you meant, and I'm not a confused LC student dealing with all this for the first time! :)

    There was no malice intended, as you can see he initiated the petty grammar dispute.

    And I wasn't being sarcastic, like for history, the best students get a prize.

    Yeah that's what I said, thanks Spurious. Does your knowledge extend as to know which subjects and what level has to be reached?

    Oh different organisations and interest groups. I think the Engineering Society might do one.
