Post-trial: How did you go?

My thoughts: overall it was alright, although at my school most of Q5-8 was edited since we hadn't covered all the topics.

I thought the CSSA papers specified that students doing such papers were not allowed to sit any time other than the time specified[b/].

I remember back to last year when some school did the english advanced paper early and the uproar it cause when students from a number of schools had to sit their exams again.

I had to do the complete paper without any editing as my class already covered everything.

I would say it was pretty hard exam. Damn complex numbers. And I got the induction question out woohooooo

I actually found my exams easy. I would say the english was the most challenging.

I think I will get in the top three for all my exams beside english and business.

I'm aware of that but not alot can be done to stop schools from conducting their catholic trial exams on days other than the one specfied on the timetable. There may be a few who are browsing these forums and have yet to do the trial exam.

Some schools delayed the day they do it and some people might not have showed up today so it is best to wait.

That paper was really annoying. As I went through Question 1 - Question 4, I found them to be alright and I was like "hmm not so bad after all..." and then as I worked from Question 5 onwards, I was like f***! I left out so many questions...
Though I have to say, I knew from day one that the CSSA paper would be really hard, so it was inevitable....lol
On a positive note....YAY! NO MORE SCHOOL ASSESSMENT TASKS!!!!:D
Oh wait....except for that darn Physics practical exam everyone has to do again!!:(

The induction question (which my school edited out) looked really easy, I saw the method to proving it in my head!
Also that substitution they suggested in that resisted motion question was not that useful. I used a better substitution. :D

I think that was it (funnily enough, they suggested it twice in the question).
