Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anybody who sat the Time Zone 1 SL math exam this year could share some thoughts with me regarding the exam. The general consensus is that it was harder than most past papers, but looking at past mark boundaries, the lowest a grade boundary (for a level 7) for math SL ever dropped to was approximately a 79~80% in 2009. Do you guys think it will go down even more this year, as although paper 1 was moderately difficult, it was manageable.
On the other hand, paper 2 seems to have brought down everyone's marks, including mine (especially the final two questions). I'm really stressed out that I will not achieve a level 7, as I did so many practice exams and they were all really easy...
It's ridiculous that we aren't even able to see our grades...
What do you guys who sat the test think?

I did many past practice papers and I thought both papers 1 and 2 were hard. I just want a 4, that is all.

You've got a couple of days (like 1 and a half) until you find out your results. Calm down. There's no point stressing about it now. Just wait ^_^
