When you feel so stressed that your going to vomit, I checked over everything and couldn't answer anything more so I left.

found it pretty good, put down an answer for everything...even if it was just a hunch.
im by no means an excellent methods student but i liked how there were a lot of 'show' type questions that guided me to an answer.

I think it could've been worse. I don't know how it was in comparison to last years though. Some questions were definitely tricky and I know I probably made some idiotic errors, but I managed to finish okay. :)

I thought I was sitting a spesh exam for a moment! And the multi-choice with area using y-axis. Spesh kids definitely would have had an advantage.
On the whole I thought it was longer than last years and some questions were quite curly.
