Don't worry, guys. If you had 100% going into the exam, you will get a 12. Fro what I have heard, a lot of answers were not there.

Do not worry about it.

There were bonus questions?? I know she decided to take one question off the test but thats it. I think I put something about min ATC for that one.. dont remember really.

But yeah, that exam was ridiculously hard. I e-mailed her.

It was not as bad as it could have been. I read each chapter 3-4 times. Saved me. If we had an hour more, it would have been way better, because I feel the issue was that it was far too long to do in 2 hours.

I found the practice problems (120 Questions) not that helpful.
The format wasn't very similar. Did anyone think the same?

Definitely. I knew everything on the practice exam, "must-try practice questions" and review slides, yet i still did horrible. That exam was ridiculous.

Also, to the people who were asking about the bonus question: did you actually have one? Mine didn't, and I was disappointed because i was hoping to bring my mark up even just a little more. Now i'm wondering if i got jipped

it wasnt a bonus mark. holmes made a mistake on a question but i think if we get that question right, we get the mark.

:/ I found this course not difficult at all last year and I finished the exam with plenty of time to spare. I guess maybe she finally caught on that everyone was doing really, really well and decided to toughen it up...

A lot of people didn't study enough last term either and said similar things to people here. The people who did study enough and did go to the clinic when they had questions and got everything sorted said the complete opposite. It was really about did you prepare enough or did you just start studying 4 days before the exam sort of deal I suppose.
