That's probably because you had lots of working to do, and because these are the answers only, it seems like a lot less work you did.

Seriously, these are the answers?

How could they allow that to happen I ain't done my math exam yet, surely your exam must be different to mine? My teacher says we are doing the Catholic Trial.. maybe there are different variants of the exam?

From the CSSA website:

Question
When can exam papers be returned to students?

Answer
Papers can be returned to students, at the discretion of the school, immediately after the completion of the subject exam date specified on the published CSSA timetable.

This means that the General Maths exam becomes public domain at the completion of the exam. I figured that by 9:30pm on the day of the exam that most people will have finished their exams for that day! :)

Some schools allow students to take exams paper with them, others do not, so by now the Catholic trial paper is probably in wide distribution.

If your teacher says that you're doing the catholic trial paper and you haven't already done it then you're probably getting a couple of the questions and not the entire paper.

They said they bought all trial exams in every subject, the full exams, from CSSA..

My english trial exam today was the same as others had done last week!

The content people posted however was very vague so I gained no benefit.
