The last questions in a maths exam

Are the last questions in this yrs math exams gonna be of similar difficulty like last yrs ones? The question with the 3 circles really threw me off, i feel like i won't be able to get a 9 if questions like that come in this yrs exam. Also are the grade boundaries going to be higher?

No one knows. You can be pretty sure that the last question will be targeted at grades 7-9 (50% of the paper is) but it's impossible to know how hard they will be. Looking back through old papers you will find some "standard" hard questions and some that are harder than normal like that circles question.
