I thought it was considerably harder than the specimen and past papers. It might just be because the pressure gets to me but I felt as though I didn't do as well as I had in the past... Which is frustrating because I worked so hard and scored 8's in all the practice papers. Aiming for a 7 overall.

I Agree its probably the most difficult paper I have seen so far and
makes the June paper look easy. how do you think the grade boundaries are going to be like? everyone looked really upset at my school

Thanks for replying, it's always nice to know that other people found it difficult too. Judging by the questions, I would have thought the boundaries will be low... Like I said, I've scored high 7s and low 8s in all the specimen and practice papers and I found this exam significantly harder... Let's hope everyone gets the grades the need/want

It seemed like I was doing a calculator paper what's with all those circle questions? those big numbers
did they give us the wrong paper by mistake.
the easier questions were really time consuming too and some were just confusing.

what did you put for the pie divided by 8 question?
I honestly wanted to cry when I saw that in a non-calculator. if it was a
calculator paper I knew I could have done it.

Hi, for that i did the area of circle and area of square. Then i couldnt figure it out. Might be we are supposed to add the inner n than subtract it with area of square. Too complicated
