Wednesday, March 02, 2016 B-Electricity/Mechanics 2016: First impressions?

To all who sat the B-paper today:

What are your first impressions to this year's B-paper?

Any general or specific comments?

Surprising elements in the client's letter, client's claims proposal or EPO communication?

How many marks do you expect to have scored?

What is your expectation of the pass rate and the average score?

How did this year's paper compare to the 2014 and 2015 papers (assuming your practiced those)

The paper and our answers

Copies of the paper will be provided on this blog as soon as we have received copies of the papers, in all three languages here (English [available], French and German).

The core of our answers will be given as soon as possible in a separate blog post.

We look forward to your comments!

Comments are welcome in any official EPO language, not just English. So, comments in German and French are also very welcome!

Please do not post your comments anonymously - it is allowed, but it makes responding more difficult and rather clumsy ("Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms Anonymous of 05-05-2015 05:05"), whereas using your real name or a pseudonym is more personal, more interesting and makes a more attractive conversation. You do not need to log in or make an account - it is OK to just put your (nick) name at the end of your post.

Please post your comments as to first impressions and general remarks to this blog.

Please post responses to our answer (as soon as available) to the separate blog post with our answer.

Thanks!

Sander, Jelle, Nico
