I did communication as my elective in there.

I personally found the exam much easier than anticipated, there were a few times however I had to stare off into the distance and think super duper hard about the exam, but overall less scary than I thought it would be.

I finished the multiple choice in about 15 minutes, which baffled me. I had no idea how I did it that fast but I am not complaining. The other parts of the exam I did not time myself on, every now and then I would just glance and see how long until the end.

How did you guys go?

MC was fucking terrible. I don't know anyone in my year that did well in the MCQ. However, short answers were pretty good and for communications it didn't went toooo bad but lol not surprised if I cop a band 2

was averaging 18/20 for MCQ in about 8 minutes for all the past papers I had done. Spent about 15 minutes on them today and probably fucked a few of them. So MC was tricky. Rest was a breeze.

What did we have to talk about for the 7 Marker in the Communication topic - the questions on mechanisms that help perceive visual and auditory communication??

I was so lost...

well I talked about the energy transformations, the path of light/sound to the brain (all the steps), the receptors (and why we hear/see the range we can), the range we see and hear, where in the brain it's processed, what organs perceive visual and auditory signals and I drew I diagram of both the ear and the eye (lel that wasted time but hopefully its worth it). and did anyone else do this in a massive table because it said "compare"?

I wrote about the path of light in the eye, then the ear, and then did a paragraph saying similarities and differences.
