I got 95.5% which was 0.5% from the top mark of 96%.
Got 3 wrong on multiple choice, lost one mark in short answer and half a mark on an essay, because I didn't refer to the stimulus.
It was pretty good though....kinda easy. I don't know, but I have a hunch that my paper was a mix based on all the commercial papers, because they did that for last years paper too.

OR

Our teacher made changes to section 4 because we hadn't covered the topics.

And I realise you can't calculate the Q21a? and Q22b) without the data, but as long as you know the formulas you should be fine. Plus I'm too lazy to type up the data
