[Year 12 SofDev] We're allowed to discuss the exam

[Frank Van Den Boom]

Overall, I thought it was a good paper. It was refreshing to see some
different sorts of questions as well as the old predictables.

I was surprised to see the 2D array in the algorithm question, even
though the approach to the question tried to make its application more
within reach. Some of you may recall me prompting some discussion
earlier in the year on my issue with the study design often being a
guessing game on what to cover or not to cover i.e. level of depth. The
view on 2D arrays by some at the time was that it was probably out of
scope. So much for our judgement on that one. I chose not to deal with
them at all. If the study design was clear about their inclusion, then I
would have covered them. So how on earth do you know??
