D 2014: overview (exam paper, first impression, DI, DII, further training)
A copy of the D 2014 paper is available from our website:
- D 2014 - Exam Paper: enjoy!!!
Our answers are posted in two separate threads for the two parts:
Please post your comments to the respective parts and specific questions and statements to the respective blogs.
Although we believe that the answers that we have provided are correct, our answer may deviate from what the Exam Committee expects. Also, the answers as shown on the blog are not 100% complete: we skipped many "easy steps" that actually will get "easy marks" for reasons of conciseness. We would expect the DI as posted to score 36-39 marks out of 40, and the DII as posted around 40-50 marks out of 60 (corresponding to 50-58 marks when including the "easy marks" for steps not explicitly indicated). So, when comparing (what you memorize of) your answer with our answers and conclude where you passed, failed or are around the pass/compensable fail/fail level, take some safety margin ;-)
