Exact same situation here... I think I got the right answer to only 2 or 3 of them. Completely guessed on the rest of them. But the two mark questions were surprisingly easy for me this time around. Hopefully that'll balance out the three mark questions I guessed on.

But overall it wasn't too bad. I was actually expecting a lot worse, haha.

I also had to guess on a few of the three markers, but that was partially due to the fact I had nearly started convulsing from having to go to the washroom so bad. Caffeine before an exam is no longer my friend.

That was overkill.

Those 3-markers were really difficult! I think I got two of them, and I guessed for the rest. The 2-markers weren't that bad; I just should have studied more.

That started happening to me at my "home stretch" 15 minutes before the end...

The worst is when you second guess yourself. I originally had two questions right, but when I went to check my answers, I changed them and got those two questions wrong now :( Really annoyed at myself now cuz this happens ALL THE TIME for me...

Moral of the story: go with your first instinct!

Funny thing is on both my midterms, I nailed all the 3 mark questions...so I thought this exam couldn't be THAT much harder...
