  Now that physics and biology is ending, i think its good to give a summary!

  Surprisingly enough, this year's examiners seemed to have lost alittle interest in properly vetting and setting questions. For many of the subjects, required answers were repeated multiple times, clearly showing there isn't much organisation to the topics tested and huge topics otherwise were not tested. 

  Also, it seems like since this is the last year for those curriculum specialists advising MOE, they decided to go very easy on the students. 

  Chemistry: Relatively manageable, P3 was poorly setted

  Physics: Very manageable, P3 repeated multiple diagrams and questions (no superposition came out)-im sure arjoe is happy:)

  Biology: Rote regurgitation, far away compared to 2014 standard. P3 is tomorrow so we shall see the PQ. 

  Economics: Slightly weirder questions but case information contradicted itself. 

  GP: Compre was easy. Compo the norm. 

  It does seem like the humanities subjects like IH and SEA were much harder. 

  So overall, this years students quite lucky heh

  Can expect the bell curve for h2 physics to be around 80+,lol... relatively straightforward paper

  You missed out mathematics: pretty managable, only some questions were less typical and more unusual, such as the transformation and apgp question. Perpendicular distance of planes were tricky

  Sorry but could you be a little more sensitive when mentioning stuffs like the bellcurve at whatever marks? Not everyone had an equally smooth paper as you and your words would only further demoralise others. Saw you bragging about this on Reddit as well so I was wondering what are you trying to get across by reiterating that the bellcurve would be above 80 at every possible platform?

  sorry if i sounded really rude, but what i meant was that hearing about all the comments regarding the paper, it seems as if it was relatively doable, and that the bell curve may be heavily skewed, thats all i really meant. I didnt even do that well either honestly, i am not bragging or anything, my true intentions is just to discuss about the possible cutoff, thats al

  Many students are unable to score that A during their exams,
