That incorrect/correct section was so sexy. I hope they start phasing them into more exams. How do you guys think this SC compares with the past 5 years say in math.

Similar, but a few questions would stuff some people up imo.

Also science was harder than previous years.

For the non-calculator part, the one where you had to draw the triangle at 90 degrees anti-clockwise about O. Did you just draw the triangle with one of the corners at point O? I wasn't 100% sure what it meant by about point O.

I did the same as you. A bit ambiguous when it says about O and it actually has to translate to get there. Or did you?

Yeah I had no idea either.. I drew I think point A at point O.. or whichever one the bottom left corner of the original triangle was

I was suffering from excruciating boredom waiting for the test to finish. When it was finally over, I woke up with a huge puddle of drool on the desk.
