    Found it pretty tough...took me full time to do everything. Q1 part B was horrible and Q2 A was singled to a cold climate which theyve never done :(

    Nice paper- quite different to previous years and some of the short questions were quite unusual too! Overall though it was grand.
    I did questions 3,4 and 5. :)

    By the way was the aerial photo oblique or vertical?

    Since november we've been doing exam papers so it took our whole class completely off-guard. SO different to others years and some tricky tails on the end of questions I hadn't seen before. So angry with myself because I only studied exam papers.

    Know for a fact I got the very first question wrong, though :(
