I found it pretty easy, especially because I was freaking out about it beforehand. 
But I think I did better than expected. Hoping for a Band 5 at least.

No wonder it was a little challenging! I didn't think a lot of prelims were going to be covered so I didn't bother revising... *sigh*

we haven't got much to go off, but 89% in 2009 aligned to 95 so I assume ~80
But this yer I think it should be 84
I personally wouldn't give anyone a band 6 if they didn't get higher than 84% in this paper, but I dunno.

the golf question was a joke..are u complaining about that?
Basically found out I did like, 70% of the test wrong. Excellent. I thought I did pretty well, but now my hopes have been dashed. If I used the right equation but used one wrong measurement - the markers are told to 'Give marks for suitable calculations'. For say 2-3 mark questions, could I get a mark? I'm just really upset at the moment, lol.

If anyone still remembers that question about calculating 5% of some hoe's gross pay, which she invests. Were we supposed to calculate it from the annual gross pay (which seemed to me illogical-was like $4000) or divide the annual gross income into weekly than find the 5% of that amount (seemed more logical to me). The wording was pretty bad

You had to find the hypotenuse and then do tan inverted to find the angle, then use trig to find out the distance
I'm a 3unit dropper and i found it really easy, but the last question i had trouble with for some reason, board of studies, please learn to ask your questions more straight forward, it's not an english lesson where you have to decode questions..... If it was even decodeable, we just had to put up with the nonsense

You had to find the depreciation angle of the pole to the man's head and then minus it from 90 to get your angle. It is the same from the man's head to the end of his shadow, then just use trig - ie. tan (whatever % it was) = x/1.5, multiply both sides by 1.5 and you got x
