The theme of the paper was “between two worlds”, and AI and technology were among the contemporary topics that appeared on it.
Ms Havel said that the Section A questions gave students a chance to get their bearings and settle into the exam, with students asked for insights into a given text. “This saved them valuable exam time and is a nice nod to the stresses and strains of the exams, and the extra nerves posed by this paper being their first.
Ms Chute said that the third text, asking students to write an article for the school website about the increasing role played by technology in schools, would be welcomed by many students as it was “an incredibly accessible task.”
