i gave the exam in may 09 as well
i agree with google....it's not as easy as it sounds....the multiple choice can basically kill u ! ! !
and u wana compare it with the sciences then...in a way its easier cuz for the sciences u need to study study study....
u can't do MUCH in thinking skills....i mean the questions in multiple choice are soooo different ....u can't prepare for it....for paper 2 wich is the writing part might require some studying...but then it's easy to finish studying for that in less than a week ! ! ! however, the amount u study isn't usually reflected in the grades u end up with...im not saying that's the case for everyone...but it generally is !!!
Goodluck with it !!! My teachers say that the subject attracts alot of universities
