Without going into the specifics of this CA2 exam content..
Did anyone think they had an Excel file missing for paper 1? No one else I know sat this exam to confirm if the same thing happened with them.
All available past exams for this subject suggested there would be two files provided for Paper 1: the PDF question file and an Excel spreadsheet with some initial data. Same when I sat this exam last year. But this sitting there was no Excel file provided with the exam pack. I waited 15 minutes (during the reading time) refreshing the exam portal expecting an Excel file to show up, but it never did.
I found it very odd that they'd bring about that change without sending out some sort of a prior notification. Even though it doesn't take long to pull together an Excel file from scratch, I would've liked to know about it in advance rather than worrying I had a file missing, and start the exam panicking.
