that went really well!

aside from that data flow diagram, every other question was nice and logical.
im feeling confident on this one =)

on the multiple choice, there was a question saying CPU instructions and what the end result in m1 is.
i got 2D, because the result from the addition was stored in r2, and r1 was stored in m1... soo i think im right?

I thought it was a pretty good test, I just hated the MC. The Evolution of programming languages question was actually very standard.

Thats what I got, so it better be right. I should have looked at what the question asked first before. I went through the whole desk-check when the addition wasn't required. Stupid me, but thats the only one a wasted on.

yep it was a fairly straightforward test, 80+ raw im hoping for (not that i'll ever know). Mainly cause last year only 6% of the candidature got band 6, so they had to make it easier...

No, prusso, it's 2D. I was initially tricked into over-analysing it and reachind 3E, but see:

r1 is loaded with 2D
r2 is loaded with 11 (which turns out to be irrelevent)
r1 and r2 are added, and according to the given rules, the result is stored in /r2/
r1 is stored to m1, so m1 = r1 (which still) = 2D.

See that? Sort of a trick question. Lucky I got it, at the end of the paper, when I went back.
