So did you find the paper hard or easy?
What do you think the cut offs will be for A's, B's, C's & D's? (taking into account last years)

I don't know...some people are saying it was hard others insist it was easy. I myself have no idea....i think the cut off really depend on how everyone does overall...but seeing as some questions were "easy" I wouldn't be surprised if the cut offs were high.,...i don't want them to be though!!!got 75% in prelim but our school tends not to be ble to appeal, i'm hoping ive done reasonably welll. Im off to curl up and cry lol
how did u find it amar?

it was hard Alisha, but dont cry lol 
But other q's were easy, i did a sort of round up of what I think I dropped marks I got and over all I got 75-76%
What about you?

i think around 75/76% for an A - they tend not to drop/raise the marks by more than 3%.

Ooft that went awful. Both papers were pretty bad for me. I got a negative answer for the integration question in one of the papers and that can't be good! I think I got 'No Award' or 'D', I'll be lucky to get a 'C'.

its ok if you get a negative because the area is under the x axis. You just turn it positive.

Oh aye and did anyone else think in paper 2 that wave function question was bad? I got (something like) 73.4 degrees and had no idea how that would be in radians like the question asked for :/
its ok if you get a negative because the area is under the x axis. You just turn it positive.
No this was the integration in part a (area S above the x-axis)!

To get it in radians I divided by 180 then multipled by 100... I couldn't remember how to do it :\ People I know said they just put their calculators in radians... duh!

If I don't get an A, then I've definitely only missed it by a few marks, in which case I'll be extremely disappointed.
I reckon I got between 72-76%
