How did everyone find the exam? Easy, hard? What were the difficult questions?

Harder in comparison to recent years I reckon.

Like, Question 4, 8 on core and the last question on Geometry and Trigonometry took up most of my time. However people probably found them simple, I thought they were confusing as all hell.

I found it good :) a couple more difficult questions that I can think of right now are in the Core:
4. number of categorical variables in the data
8. asking what else could be used in the two-sided stem plot to be associated with car speed km/hr
12. one asking how should the 1.25 index for winter be changed so it's fits seasonal
At first i was confused, but after thinking about they were not bad.

I'm hoping that I have. It depends on what we decide the answer to Number Patterns question 8 is :)

Number 8 for 'Number Patterns' is B. Let me know if you want an explanation.
