First draft of the exam is done. You are looking at 35 blanks, 25 true false and 15 problems. The blanks are mainly defintions but there are some small fgure it out problems, all worth just 1 mark. The problems range from 1 question per number to multi – a, b, c part questions. I am now looking at having the exam a 50-50 split between theory and problems.
Keep checking for further updates.
