Did anyone else's stomach sound like a dying whale by the end of it?

It wasn't even halfway in that my stomach started rumbling. I was so embarrassed for the people around me, lol.

i'm kind of hoping my assessor isn't old, cos they're not going to like my second piece
in one bit i wrote that 'the only thing drier than their imaginations is the food in the nursing homes in which they belong'

I know I got one of the tiles MC questions wrong, there goes the 35/35 in MST i got on my school's practice GAT..

I actually liked the writing tasks! Last year it was all like 'ehhh I'm a mountain' this year I was all like 'TESLA, RADIOS, SPACE EXPLORATION, ALIENS and the INTERNET, YEAH!'

And for the second piece I wrote a motivational speech from a past student to a group of graduating software developers, about why they are of more value in a changing field than 'experienced' elder developers. It ended with 'ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to change the world.'
Yeah I may have inspired myself a little :')

I feel like I spoke about old people a little too much like they are disposable objects haha.
One sentence was something like "elders are only of use if we can extract knowledge and practical application that is relevant in the modern world."

My main troubles were the English type multiple choice. The poems and the quotes were hard for me but I think I did well with the maths questions

That story about the Czechoslovakian army guy was really tricky. Took me a while to figure out that he was actually trying to make the impression that the troops were answering the questions correctly by framing the answers in the questions.

i thought it was sarcastic in a way but I didn't really Analyse it I couldn't be bothered.  I made random game of thrones and arrow references in my essay.

Three things irked me:
1. wtf at the shape selection process thingo (i completely forgot what it's called) wasted all this time trying to understand the logic of the two flowcharts. If it has 'curves' then go get a hexagon, etc. I was like pulling my hair out at it.
2. What was with that story about "Mother City" Q: Why did they leave "mother city" for the suburbs?
3. Find the no. of triangles big, med and small to fill in the BLACK area. yeah, that makes things not confusing, the triangles were black as well!

I found the family with like 5 languages a fun one to do though.
