I managed to get a High Distinction, I never knew I had such potential.
The sheer difficulty of the questions were quite dramatic.

Awesome.

Test was really hard this year. I heard 17/30 was the cutoff for a high distinction, and there was a question only 10% managed to get.

True.
I didn't get the hardest question either.

18/30 was mine.
I thought the cut-off would be much higher.

17 out of 30 was the cut-off? really? darn, i just missed out (sort of)

i got 15 out of 30, but that really surprised me when i got the certificate. I was like fully staring at it in the teacher's hand for 5 minutes, before i slowly took it from him. But, seriously, i thought it was so hard, and i fully believed that i had failed miserably.... but, i guess i didn't do as badly as i thought i did. I'm extremely happy with my distiction. =)))))
