mate those questions are targetted towards band 6 students if your knowledge is not at a band 6 level for that part of the syllabus then you will not get that question even CSSA uses this on their marking guidelines
calling a question band 6 is reasonable as some questions are designed to target higher performance bands and need a higher level of knowledge or thinking to get full marks on
nah its not cherry picking they will never say no to you they will just put you in a shit class if Dr du puts you in A3 or B just leave its not worth it
yea but you really have to focus at school and try and fit in homework and papers and stuff when you arent doing much in class or when you think what ur doing in class is useless.
