The grade boundries will probably not even drop. Why couldnt the paper be like 2023.

why wouldn’t they drop tho if everyone’s saying it was hard

what did u guys get for the very last question with the binomial?

I can't remember what exact answer I got, but I found that having 6 in a pack was better as lower chance of less than 4 being not broken than in a pack of 4. So pack of 6 was better, and I think that made her correct

Because they are reducing the amount of Grade 9's this year anyway due to them restoring grade boundaries back to the pre-pandemic levels, and even if they drop the grade boundaries it will be 4-5 marks max.

Are paper 2s usually harder there’s no way they make both papers way harder than usual

Yes, they are generally harder because you have more time to revise. I feel like they will include a difficult quality control charts question

for paper 2 do you think they'll add more math calculations since there was a ton of writing in paper 1??

Should do. I think the key topics for Paper 2 are: index numbers, geometric mean, normal distribution calculations, quality control charts, and regression equations.
