The only reason they chucked the probability question as a sample is because it requires no reproduction of diagrams and minimal mathematical symbols

Q5 was the probably and Trigonometry with the Circle - I thought it was a pain in the ass. Q4 was just graphing things and Circle Geometry.

Eh..I skipped most of the circle geo 'cause I had a feeling I would run out of time if I didn't (glad I did, otherwise I would've had to rush Q7). I also fucked up the graphing pretty badly...so many silly mistakes :(.

Back on topic: I don't think the paper was that bad...it just came down to the time management and the amount of silly mistakes I made personally, making it appear difficult...i think I've said this before :S.

Everyone either vote Easy, or Ok in the poll just to prove those idiots wrong. This test could be cancelled if a thousand parents complain about this... seriously bogans always ruin it for everyone.
