I know, I heard.

I'm a Math's teacher and exams co-coordinator, and I saw the paper on Thursday, after everyone finished the exam, and it looked messed up.
My class were complaining about it.

One thing I noticed is how quickly the questions got hard. I've always told my students questions 1 to 18 are really easy, and always aim to get 100% in the first 18 questions to secure a B grade. With this year's paper, the questions began to get hard at around question 11 to 12.

What was up with the constant 5 mark questions too? There were like four of them.

Not to mention, where the hell was the Simultaneous Equation question?
Bar the November 2014 paper, I've never seen a non-calculator paper without a question on it.

I think the grade boundaries will be lower. But it all depends on how difficult the Calculator Paper is.

With November 2014, the Non-Calculator was hard, but the Calculator was much easier, so the same pattern might occur with June 2015.
