Most of the students I came across found the English paper easy. There were some who finished and left the exam hall way before the end of the paper.

Are you refering to Paper 2, was the cloze passage difficult?
Care to share the Paper 1’s topics.
Thank you. -

Yes. I heard many students who came out from the school's gate making that comment too. According to my child, many of them slept during the exam! In my friend's child's school, same scenario.
If Paper is really 'easy', then only those good in writing (compo) will shine. -

For the compulsory question, it was to write a formal letter to the residents that you lost a pet (I think it was a rabbit) and give some description of the lost pet.Are you refering to Paper 2, was the cloze passage difficult?

I don't know what is the picture compo. The continuous compo was a situation whereby an old lady was being pushed into a lift by a man who was in a rush... something like that... -

One of them is in the vocab section, the same meaning for the word \"detest\". 2 possible options: \"dislike\" or \"hate\". Both are possible synonyms. So need to base on the context of the passage. He felt the answer should be \"hate\". Some of his friends said \"dislike\". -

Detect, according to dic.com, means 'to dislike intensely'. I think your son is right, it should be hate.
