That was tough. It felt a lot easier than Exam 1, but still hard for me. Might be the pressure talking, but I thought that was harder overall than previous years (probably because I ran out of time and missed out on 4 precious marks), although the difficulty may have been similar The style of questions, especially most of multiple-choice, felt unconventional. Also lots of asking for decimals? (did anyone get 39 for the smallest value of n in the probability q because I just trial+errored a method i wasn't sure of)

Absurdly hard paper

thought the exam was alot easier than last year's exam 2, although the situation and the pressure really propelled its difficulty higher than it really should have been for me

alot easier than last years?

alot easier than last years?

Maybe the extended response parts but the M/C felt a bit weird and different to standard

I feel as though, with respect to previous papers, the multiple choice questions required a lot more work. However, the short answer section was surprisingly a bit more accessible. What do people thing the A+ range will be for this exam?

Agreed. Much, much more easier than last year.
Expect A+ to be above ~68/80

For some reason, I felt it was a lot harder than last years, especially some of the mcq's.

exam 2 was way better than exam 1!!!
Hopefully my performance on this exam helps me out with my exam 1 score. can a high A in exam 1 and a A plus in exam 2 still pull a low 40??
rank 1, in a weak cohort
