note that next year and on you can avoid theoretical questions to a large extent if you don't like them.

Oh, I do like theoretical questions - at least as much as the systems ones, in fact - I just seem to have done very badly at them. I thought Probability/Discrete Maths/RL&FA were three of my best subjects, yet made a silly mistake in one and handwaved too much on proofs for the others.

Hm, I'm afraid my 'likes' got forced to be 'things I can do questions about' (theoretical in my case).

Were there any questions that you didn't predict full marks for ^_^. Things are always harder than they seem.

Yes, most of 'em. I figured 16/20 for FCS and Java on CST1, for example, and 14/20 for RL&FA on CST2.

With the exception of Discrete Maths, Probability and (slightly) Software Engineering 2, I got the guesses pretty much spot on (should have put down per-question marks with my original estimates, not just the totals...).
