I thought (Easiest to hardest):
Computer Skills
English
Maths
History
Geography- mainly because all the things I didn't study were extended responses.
Science

hardest parts of each test in my opinion were
> english short answer (15 marks in the middle)
> science extendeds (40 marks at the end)
> maths short answers (20 marks at the end)
> history multiple choice (20 marks at start)
> geography extended response (15 marker at the end)
> computers database and ambiguous kinda ones

overall, I think the hardest was either english (the ambiguity in multiple choice and many different answers for writing and short answer) or science (the questions that required inferences stumped me a bit)

the others (maths, history, geography and computers) did have quite hard bits however on the whole I believe I did better in these

but yeah, probably science was the hardest test for me
:bomb:

You WILL get 70's in science, if not higher, the school certificate marks are scaled UP [as cem (the senior member) said marks are aligned upwards] so therefore a raw mark of between 50-60 should rise to about 60-75.

Hardest test i found was english and i was really suprised as english tends to be my stronger subject. I just found some of the way the questions were styled to be a bit odd, however i managed a band 4 in english so i was quite pleased with that result.

Easiest was history, was happy how i went in that exam. Band 4 in that aswell.

Ah! I may aswell tell you my results, band 4 in all subjects. Was rather happy. Nervous at first then opening the results i couldn't believe my eyes, i mean science a band 4? My weakest subject... What were the odds?
