What were your thoughts on ECR section 2?

Hi,
I took the ECR exam on Dec 3rd for the 1st time, and i was a bit thrown off in section 2 where they had made it more writing orientated than in previous papers! They concentrated more on asking 'what would happen if...' rather than asking people to work things out! I think i might have messed up section 2, as in my revision i was more worried about formulas, and i did a lot of past papers which seemed to have a slightly different format that the paper i actually got!
There was also not a question asking me to work out the payback period and the net present value. These are normally big marks, so i was a bit gutted!
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?! :001_unsure:

I agree as well. i find it a lot easier to do the papers when there asking you to work out an answer rather than just the normal questions like 'please write a reply to.....etc)
I feel a bit better though that a few other people hated the exam like me though!0
