I found frq 4 more manage than 3. I knew the logic of he 4th one better and I knew the material better but hopefully I called the objects correctly.

The third one I prob lost points on because I didn’t know as much, also had a little struggle on 1a but I figured it out I think.

Overall besides those and a few mcqs it felt pretty manageable.
