meh, I didn't even get close to finishing, I just basically went through and put 'c' for the last 10 multiple choice questions, as for section 2 - I screwed that up pretty badly.

nah can't say the same for myself. i went thru the paper at a fairly slow pace to make sure i took care with reading the question etc and finished in time to check my paper over a few times...

I found myself struggling for time to complete the whole thing. There were some parts that I didn't complete, and I guessed about 6 Multiple choice questions, but I ended up finishing all the stuff I could do with a few mins to spare.

I finished with seriously less than a minute to spare......it's always multiple choice that gets you because they're pretty easy so you catch yourself thinking and re-checking coz you're like, pffft that was way too easy, I must've done something wrong.

I did the 2nd part first and worked at a fairly slow pace which meant that the multiple choices were a bit rushed but i still finished in time

Yeah me too! I finished the last question with about 2 minutes left. So I went back to my MC.. Whenever I do MC and I don't know know the answer I put a mark around an answer I think is right then if I have no time at the end I just pick those ones.. Saves time I guess.

What'd you guys do for the last question? Did he have more or less that $15,000 saved?

Evie -- the thread Yes or No is all about that question -- the majority have said that he didn't have enough money so far.....

I hope it's right, 4 marks was like the most allocated to a single question.

Well if people get the last questions wrong they'll prolly mark you ok (not be as strict) because they were long questions and took a lot of calculating. It's easy to make stupid mistakes when you're running out of time!
