Found it pretty good actually. Most classmates felt the same.

I found it quite challenging compared to the previous exams :( most of my classmates didn't finish the exam but then again most of my classmates don't even study.

That 1 mark question which was at the bottom of the page where you had to draw the direction of the motion was pretty dog. I saw it it reading time but forgot to come back to it.

Where can you find what the grade brackets were for previous years?

i found it fairly average, layout was different to previous years but i think the cut off for A+ will be low my guess is. I spoke to people from various schools and they say the struggled a lot. Mind you a kid in my class is certain that he aced it.

It was easy compared to the previous exams but i think it required a lot of understanding of the concepts rather than inputting equations n solving them.

I think over all it was an easy exam, although harder to get a perfect score since there
was quite a few concept questions which are harder to get full marks then
calculation questions.
