From Captain on Mao's account:

I haven't done the MAV 08 for methods, but I did the 07 and got 100%.  What did you find difficult about the 08 paper?

Pretty much everything except probability, although I never find probability to be too hard.

We did this as a trial exam. This exam is way harder than previous MAV exams. Especially that extended response question with something about languages, that was a killer. But overall, it's not too bad.

I think the MAV paper was more 'tricky' than it was 'hard'. A lot of people in my class got caught out by the wording of the questions and accuracy of answers, especially in extended response question 2. I thought the multiple choice was fairly hard though

Yeah, true. But if you're doing this under exam conditions, the "tricky" questions turn into "hard" questions and as you progress through the exam, you lose confidence and you likely interpret the extended questions incorrectly, making the exam difficult.
