Writing the end test

I have written the questions for the End Test. This is roughly based on last years test though I have taken out one logarithms question (there are 3 out of 12 on the end test and 6 out of 8 on the coursework) and replaced it with a differentiation question. This will mean the final mark depends more on the calculus section of the course, though you can still get a good pass without it. I am reluctant to change the end test much more as:

• The students have last years test as a mock and will be preparing on that basis
• I am told that the chemists who run a lot of the forensics modules will be looking for logarithms questions since that is more useful to that course
• The students have only been tested on logs in coursework, and if anyone got through this with help it should be revealed when they do the end test whether they can actually do this topic.
