The absence of a TC calc in mod 5 should not have been a surprise, neither should the rather different from usual aspect sequece question in mod 3, since these had been forewarned in the Exam Review in January of which there are notes here. I can see that the mod 2 would have been rather more of a jolt when first looking at the paper which barely changes from year to year.
I am particularly interested to have any more comments in the immediate aftermath of the exam; I am meeting some others in just over a week to discuss how people from different backgrounds and experience may have viewed the questions set. I can only guess at this, so to have got real feedback from real candidates would be immensely useful.
Either publicly through posting in this thread, or privately by PM / email as several have been contacting me in the run up to the exam in order to preserve anonymity.
Even if you post openly under your own name, your comment wll not affect the marking of your individual paper in any way; however if it relates to a potential misunderstanding of what a question meant or what was needed to answer it, then I might let the generic information be known so that when the examiners are reviewing their marking they could at least be aware that such an issue exists. Hencevery useful to feed me stuff now and this would also before the memory fades.
