Questions will be arranged roughly according to level of difficulty from easier

to more difficult through the full length of the paper rather than grouped into
content focus questions that go from easy to more difficult within a specific
content question, i.e. a simple stand-alone trigonometry question could be
question 1, but there could be another stand-alone trigonometry question
towards the end of the paper that assesses problem solving. This does not
exclude a question with some sub-questions that address similar content at
a similar level of difficulty.
